Cook IVC Filters Class Action

Merchant Law Group LLP is co-class counsel in Canada-wide class action litigation against Cook Medical Inc. and Cook Group Inc. on behalf of people who have been implanted with certain types of IVC filters and who suffered related injuries.

a) Potential IVC device migration

b) Potential IVC device perforation

c) Potential IVC device fracture

d) Potential IVC device embolization
