Meet Our Glucose Monitoring Device Recall Attorneys

Some glucose monitoring devices have been associated with issues such as failed alert systems, inaccurate readings, or hardware malfunctions. In some cases, these defects may prevent users from receiving critical warnings about dangerous blood sugar levels.

Certain glucose monitoring devices from multiple manufacturers have been identified in recalls or safety investigations. These may include:

• Dexcom G6 Receiver
• Dexcom G7 Receiver
• Dexcom ONE / ONE+ Receiver
• Stelo (over-the-counter CGM)
• Abbott Freestyle Libre 3
• Abbott Freestyle Libre 3 Plus

Not every device is impacted. Checking your device’s serial number or recall notice is the most reliable way to confirm.

Some glucose monitoring device defects have been classified as high-risk because they may prevent users from receiving critical alerts. Without timely warnings, individuals may not be aware of dangerous blood sugar levels, which can lead to severe medical emergencies.

Glucose monitoring devices are designed to alert users when blood sugar reaches unsafe levels. If an alert system, such as a speaker, vibration, or notification feature, fails, users may miss critical warnings. This can lead to severe hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia and other serious medical emergencies.

If alerts were missed, individuals may experience symptoms related to dangerous blood sugar levels, including confusion, dizziness, seizures, or loss of consciousness. In some cases, emergency medical treatment may be required.

If your glucose monitoring device has been recalled or may be affected by a defect, follow the manufacturer’s guidance as soon as possible. This may include testing alert functions, using backup monitoring methods, and requesting a replacement device. You can also contact the manufacturer directly for support and next steps.

Even if your device appears to be working, it may still be affected by a recall or an underlying defect. Regularly testing alert functions and confirming whether your device is impacted can help reduce risk while you arrange for a replacement.

Claims involving defective medical devices may include compensation for medical treatment, emergency care, lost income, and the physical and emotional impact of the event. The details depend on how the device failure affected you.

In addition to testing your device, you may consider using backup monitoring methods, setting additional alerts if available, and staying attentive to physical symptoms of blood sugar changes.

Cases involving defective medical devices can be both medically and legally complex. They often require a detailed investigation into how the device was designed, manufactured, and tested, as well as how the failure impacted the patient.
