This archaic 10 year time limit for medical devices prevents far too many victims from being able to claim. I would urge you to get behind this campaign to #raisethelimit@VictoriaLIVE
In the UK, there is currently a 10-year limit to claim against a faulty medical device.
This cruelly starts when the product is manufactured - not when the product is fitted.
We’re standing alongside thousands of women affected by this rule as they campaign to #RaiseTheLimit.
Jan was in agonising pain and unable to walk 3 months after being fitted with a contraceptive implant. Doctors struggled to discover what was wrong and only when she read another woman’s similar story online did Jan realise what had happened.

Our Client Liaison, Jan, and on C4 Steph’s Packed Lunch today raising awareness about Essure contraceptive device and its damaging effects @PackedLunchC4 @PGMBMlaw_en
It’s good to see the BBC bringing this important issue @EssureProblems to the public’s attention. I was grateful for the opportunity to be involved Thanks @therealSophieH@bbchealth @PGMBMlaw_en
The 10 year longstop limitation can prevent claimants from claiming against the manufacturer of a medical device. Sadly, it can take many years for problems with a device to be recognised and treated seriously, leaving people without access to justice. This law needs to change.
Amazing victory for Primodos this week. But the investigation doesn’t end there. We look at why the less favourable 2017 report (still cited by the manufacturer in defence) was changed between draft and publication.... great FOI work by @LizLaneSky https://t.co/XadxHooO94
The @JuliaCumberlege review is published tomorrow into the regulation of Primodos, Valproate and Mesh. Big, important day for alleged victims such as @NickyGubbins who we’ve followed on the campaign for many years.
Another front opens up in the battle for campaigners looking for recognition that a drug caused damage to babies in the womb - #Primodos https://t.co/5JOoJ3XZgG
