National Attorneys for Cook Nester and Tornado Embolization Coil Lawsuits

Nester and Tornado embolization coils have been found to be defective, causing severe and life-threatening side effects. Used to repair aneurysms, these metal devices are implanted in veins and arteries. While most implantations seem successful at first, over time, Cook Nester and Tornado coils can migrate or move within the body and cause severe internal damage to blood vessels, nerves and organs and death. What's more, Cook Nester and Tornado coils may contain hazardous materials that result in toxic leaching, foreign body reactions and autoimmune conditions.

Manufactured by Cook, Inc., Nester and Tornado coils received fast-track FDA approval without adequate premarket testing. Evidence suggests Cook executives were aware of the risk of embolization coil injury from Nester and Tornado coils prior to releasing the product, but never warned the public. The company has failed to conduct post-market surveillance, and in 2014, received an FDA warning, stating the raw material was adulterated and the company had failed to comply with safety procedures. Cook Group, which is a medical supply company based in Bloomington, Indiana, chose repeatedly to prioritize profits over product safety and put countless Americans at risk. Meanwhile, the CEO of Cook Group, Carl Cook, has a net worth of over $10.2 billion.

Cook, Inc. is facing tough questions today on why the company neglected to warn consumers of the risk of serious injury from Cook Tornado and Nester coils. Persons and family members of persons who were implanted with Cook Nester or Tornado embolization coils and later developed side effects including organ, tissue and nerve damage; severe and chronic pain; bleeding and clotting problems such as emboli, hematomas and hemorrhage; infection, foreign body reactions, and autoimmune problems; ischemia and tissue necrosis; and death are filing Tornado and Nester coil lawsuits against Cook.

Filing an embolization coil lawsuit is the only means individuals and families have to obtain the compensation they deserve for suffering, damage, medical expenses and loss related to Nester and Tornado coil problems. In addition, filing a Nester coil lawsuit or a Tornado coil injury claim is the best method for individual consumers to hold Cook accountable for its unethical business practices.
