The problem in getting an attorney is a U.S. Supreme Court
Case Riegel v Medtronics which held that state court
lawsuits are limited to violations of federal requirements.

Most attorneys shy away from these cases. But there is
something called the Medical Device Safety Act that would
undo Riegel. You want to be able to get an attorney, get
the law changed. Ask your Congressperson to sponsor or
support legislation to undo Riegel and allow you to sue if
the product is defective or if they didn't warn you about
the dangers or if the device was negligently made or
designed. Then you can show the problem with these devices
in court and the attorneys will start taking these cases
again.
