According to Drug Watch, the lawsuits accuse Ethicon "of designing a defective product and failing to warn patients of risks." The morcellator device has sparked controversy, with risks of unintentionally spreading uterine cancer. In April of 2014, the FDA put out a warning stating that the risk was 1 in 350. That same month, J&J recalled their morcellators from the market, however, lawsuits have been growing against the company.
Morcellators have been used in different laparoscopic surgeries, including hysterectomy and myomectomy procedures, as well as laparoscopic spleen and renal surgeries. While the morcellator device provides a less invasive surgery and quicker recovery time, the following have been listed as potential side effects:
