Liability fears threaten life saving medical implants

Nine year old Thomas Reily needs a brain shunt to survive while his father Senator Mark Reily and industry figures warn liability laws could cut off raw material supplies for medical devices to hundreds of millions. Senator Lieberman plans bills shielding material suppliers from suit when defects are not theirs, warning the risk could endanger lifesaving devices within two years.

Medical device liability debate challenges small suppliers

Lieberman cites a Aronoff Associates study showing polyes ter yarns and resins like DuPonts Teflon account for only 0.006 percent of the market for such products. He warns that tiny sales cannot justify high litigation costs while advocates urge civil liability to improve safety and compensation for injuries.
