Wisner Baum Attorneys Take Lead Roles in Boston Scientific MDL
Behram V. Parekh and Hannah Quicksell have secured key leadership positions in the multidistrict litigation against Boston Scientific, marking a transition into a unified federal strategy. The appointments place the Wisner Baum attorneys at the center of a complex legal battle involving alleged malfunctions of spinal cord stimulation devices.
Beyond individual device claims, the litigation scrutinizes how manufacturers modified hardware and firmware after initial FDA approval without conducting new clinical trials. Parekh views the MDL as a critical step in addressing broader industry practices. With a Judicial Panel hearing scheduled for September 24 regarding potential consolidation of cases against Abbott and Nevro, the scope of these proceedings may soon expand to encompass a wider range of medical device manufacturers.
