Murphy Battista LLP and Rosenberg Law 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 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 (link below) to the best of your ability.

Allergan Lab-Band Questionnaire

You will need a PDF reader software such as Adobe Acrobat Reader.

Once completed, please email your form to [email protected] with the Subject line: Allergan Lap-Band.

A member of the intake team will add you to the potential class member database and you will be kept informed about developments as this matter progresses.

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.
