Rosenberg Law and Murphy Battista LLP are working together on a proposed class proceeding on behalf of individuals in Canada harmed due to the implantation of a medical device known as the Allergan Adjustable Gastric Lap-Band (the “Allergan Lap-Band”).

The Allergan Lap-Band is a laparoscopic adjustable gastric band implant marketed as a means to assist with weight loss in adults. The proposed class proceeding alleges that the Allergan Lap-Band has a high failure, injury, and complication rate. These complications may result in the need for one or more corrective surgeries and/or lead to permanent damage. The class proceeding alleges that the unacceptably high risks of the Allergan Lap-Band outweigh the benefits purportedly conferred by the device.

If you were implanted with an Allergan Lap-Band and want more information and would like to be kept informed about the progress of this proposed class proceeding, please complete the fillable PDF questionnaire below and email it to [email protected].

Potential class member information is confidential but may be shared among the legal team from Rosenberg Law and Murphy Battista LLP working together on behalf of potential class members.

Please note that responses to questions and information updates on this proposed class proceeding may come from an email address from either firm.

This action is still in its early stages and we will provide more information as it becomes available.
