What the lawsuits allege

The litigation alleges manufacturers knew certain models fractured and migrated at elevated rates and kept selling them while marketing retrievability that often proved impossible.
Injuries named in the litigation
- Filter fracture with strut embolization
- Perforation of the vena cava
- Filter tilt and migration
- Inability to retrieve the device
- Open surgery to remove fragments
