Thank you, Tulsa and Oklahoma City for 50 Years

Distracted Driving is an Ongoing Issue Across Oklahoma

Watch our interview with Michael Carr as he discusses distracted driving with Good Day Tulsa.

What are the most common things people get distracted within the car?

The most common is a cell phone and many cars today have come equipped with hands-free device technology to help combat this distraction. However recent studies have shown that even if you are using hands-free in the car, if you are speaking with someone it lessens your ability to pay attention to the road.

Who is most at risk to be driving while distracted?

Teenage drivers are the most at-risk drivers to be distracted drivers. For teenagers ages 15-20, motor vehicle collisions are the leading cause of death. Teenagers don’t typically drive by themselves; they have other teenagers in the car and they don’t typically stay quiet.

What happens if you are hit by someone that is clearly driving while distracted?

If you are involved in a collision and the other person was distracted or on the phone, you can receive compensation for medical bills, time off work, and your pain and suffering. Call Carr and Carr Attorneys today to speak with an attorney today.

Knee Replacement Recall

Did you or a loved one have had an Exactech knee replacement between 2004 and 2022? If you received a specific type of total knee replacement that was manufactured by the orthopedic device company, Exactech, a component and insert have been recalled from the knee replacement device that you received.

Carr and Carr Attorneys at Law have been helping clients in Oklahoma and across the nation with recalls like this for over 50 years. Our experienced team has the time and resources to represent you against Exactech. Call us today at 866-510-0580 for a free, no-obligation consultation, or contact us online to get started now.

On August 31, 2021, Exactech recalled over 147,000 knee replacements already completed and inserted into patients’ bodies.

Why is it Defective?

As shown in the diagram, the tibial plastic insert fits between the femoral component and the tibial component and acts as a new cushion or cartilage for your replaced knee joint. During a recent review of its knee implant manufacturing process, Exactech learned that one aspect of the packaging for the tibial insert has been out of specification and may have allowed oxygen from the air to diffuse into the tibial insert prior to it being implanted in your knee. This can lead to oxidation, which can cause the tibial insert to wear out earlier than expected or to become damaged after being implanted.

Premature wear of the tibial insert can lead to additional surgery. If your tibial insert has worn out earlier than expected or has been damaged, you may need additional treatment.

If you have been experiencing any new or worsening knee swelling, pain while walking, inability to bear weight, grinding or other noise, instability, or any new symptoms of clicking in your knee, these are signs of deterioration.

Carr and Carr Attorneys at Law are here to help. Our team can help you understand your legal options. Call us today at 866-510-0580 for a free, no-obligation consultation, or contact us online.

CPSC and Target are urging consumers to stop using the recalled weighted blankets immediately and contact Target for a refund. Sold excluxively at Target stores nationwide and online at www.target.com. The blankets were sold from December 2018 through September 2022 for $40.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and Target Corporation, of Minneapolis, Minnesota, are announcing the recall of about 204,000 Pillowfort Weighted Blankets, where a young child can become entrapped by unzipping and entering the blanket, posing a risk of death by asphyxiation.

A 4-year-old girl and a 6-year-old girl reportedly became entrapped in the cover of the weighted blanket and died due to asphyxia at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina in April 2022. Target has received four reports of children becoming entrapped in these weighted blankets, including the two fatalities.

This recall involves Pillowfort Weighted Blankets. The blankets weigh 6 pounds, measure 60 inches long and 40 inches wide and have a removable, waterproof, washable cover. The blankets come in eight prints or colors including unicorn white, space navy, pink, blue, gray, buffalo plaid red, blue constellation, and unicorn pink.

CPAP

On June 14, 2021, Philips announced a voluntary recall for various Philips Bi-Level Positive Airway Pressure (Bi-Level PAP), Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP), and mechanical ventilator devices.

The recall provides potential health risks the company identified in their devices’ polyester-based polyurethane (PE-PUR) sound abatement foam component. This component can disintegrate or outgas, causing users to inhale and/or ingest toxic and possibly carcinogenic substances. The recalled devices include those in the first-generation DreamStation product family.

Philips first publicized the adverse, foam-related effects of its CPAP and Bi-Level PAP devices in its first-quarter 2021 company report. Based on reports and testing, Philips determined the PE-PUR foam could degrade into particles. These particles can then enter the device’s air pathway and be ingested or inhaled by the user. Furthermore, the foam may off-gas certain chemicals.

Philips further explained that unapproved cleaning methods, including ozone, can exacerbate foam degradation, as can specific environmental conditions that involve high humidity and temperature. Philips states these environmental conditions involve the climate and temperatures of the locations where the devices are being used and stored, not the temperature and humidity caused by a patient’s use of the devices.

The CPAP User Manual for the first-generation DreamStation product family—which comprises most of the affected medical devices—failed to warn of these potential health risks.

Side Effects and Injuries from Philips CPAP Machines

Philips reports the following potential health risks caused by the foam degradation in the recalled CPAP and Bi-Level PAP devices.

Particulate Exposure Health Risks

Cancer
Possible toxic effects
Respiratory issues
Effects to liver, kidneys, and other organs
Inflammation
Irritation of eye, skin, and respiratory tract
Headaches

According to Philips, patients have also reported black debris/particles in the airpath circuit of the machines. The company has received patient complaints about sinus infection, chest pressure, upper airway irritation, and headaches.
