Hysterectomy Cancer Lawsuit: Bernstein Liebhard Notes Report Indicating Johnson & Johnson Was Warned About Morcellator Cancer Risks in 2006
PR Newswire - Fri May 30, 4:33PM CDT
As its investigation of morcellator cancer lawsuits (http://www.gynecaremorcellatorlawsuit.com/) continues, Bernstein Liebhard LLP notes the publication of a new report which indicates that Johnson & Johnson was warned about uterine cancer risks potentially associated with power morcellators eight years before a warning from the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) prompted the company to suspend sales of certain devices marketed by its Ethicon, Inc. unit. According to The Pittsburgh Business Times, Dr. Robert Lamparter, then a pathologist at Evangelical Community Hospital in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, wrote to Johnson & Johnson in 2006, imploring the company to "reconsider the risk to the patient" posed by the use of power morcellators in surgeries to remove uterine fibroids. In another of several emails and letters written to Johnson & Johnson that year, the now-retired Dr. Lamparter voiced concern that using a morcellator when a uterine tumor was present "may lead to dissemination of the malignant tissue."
