Do an internet search using your favorite search engine. You will probably need the exact name and model of the device that was used.

Have you asked your doctor. Surely he would know if there is a recall. Have you checked Google? Trial lawyers state office in Raleigh.

Check with the Dr that installed it. He or she should know if it is on the recall list. It's likely you would have been notified, though, if it was recalled. You may want to consider talking to a medical malpractice lawyer. It is possible the installation was not done right.

Don't you think that you should first find out from your surgeon if your pain is something that foreseeable resulted from the surgery itself? Find out if the device is defective. Just being on the recall list doesn't mean that your device failed.

Try the FDA website or google the device. Of on the list contact an attorney who handles medical device or bad drugs cases.

Ask your doctor or hospital where implant was implanted.
