The Bard PowerPort (“BardPort”) is a port catheter device implanted just under the skin to allow for easy attachment to a catheter for the intravenous delivery of fluids or medication.

The Bard PowerPort has inherent design and manufacturing flaws that make the device prone to fracturing and migrating out of position. This can cause severe injuries, including internal vascular damage.

Individuals who suffered injuries due to a defective Bard PowerPort device are now bringing product liability lawsuits against the manufacturer of the PowerPort implants. Our firm is currently accepting new cases from anyone who had a Bard PowerPort port catheter device implanted and was injured due to a fracture, migration, or other implant failures.

If you swallowed a wire bristle from a grill brush or found a metal fragment in your food after cleaning your grill, you are not imagining things or overreacting. A wire bristle from a grill cleaning brush can break off during normal use, stick to a burger or hot dog without anyone seeing it, and end up in your throat, stomach, or intestines. The injuries range from sharp throat pain and trouble swallowing to bowel perforation requiring emergency surgery.

In early 2026, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recalled more than 13 million wire grill brushes from Weber and Nexgrill after confirming that detached bristles were sticking to food and causing serious internal injuries. If you or someone in your family was hurt, there may be a product liability claim against the manufacturer.

The CDC warned about this hazard years ago, and in early 2026, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced two massive recalls involving Weber and Nexgrill wire bristle brushes because detached bristles can stick to food and cause serious internal injuries that may require surgery.
