The lawsuit claims certain port catheters—including Bard PowerPort and other implantable ports—may be defective and can break, crack, move inside the body, or lead to serious infections. These issues can cause significant injuries, and the manufacturer is accused of not properly warning patients and doctors about the risks.

You may be eligible if you had a port catheter (such as a Bard PowerPort, implantable port, port-a-cath, or power-injectable port) and later experienced complications or needed additional medical treatment related to the device.

Reported complications include bloodstream infections, device fracture, movement in the body, blood clots, and damage to blood vessels or organs. In serious cases, these issues can be life-threatening.

You may qualify if you had a port catheter implanted and suffered complications such as bloodstream infection, breakage, migration, blood clots, or required removal or revision surgery. Medical records are typically needed to confirm your case.

No, there are no upfront costs to join the lawsuit. Attorneys typically work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if they win or settle your case.

Compensation may include medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and other damages. The amount varies depending on the severity of your injuries and the details of your case.
