The medical world has worked for decades improving technology and saving the lives of patients by using donated tissue when a situation is life threatening. Kidneys, skin grafts, corneas, hearts and bone marrow are examples of donations that are given to patients who need a miraculous new chance at life.

While the tissue and organ transplant industry represents a $1 billion part of the medical industry in the United States, most of these tissues are harvested by legitimate means. Unfortunately, there are numerous amounts of improprieties about the source of donor parts from New Jersey-based Biomedical Tissue Services, LTD. Many people throughout the country are worried that their tissues may not have been properly screened for deadly diseases such as Syphilis, Hepatitis and AIDS.

Additional cases have illustrated that thieves have stolen bones from legs and replaced them with plumbing pipes, or removed organs and replaced them with screws before an open casket funeral. When this occurs, there is a significant risk to public health, because these tainted tissues cannot be removed from the patient.

In a tainted tissue crime there are two victims affected. The first victims are the people who have received these tissues from their trusted health care providers. The second victims are the families of whose loved ones who have been harmed for the sake of illicit profit.

If you or someone you know has been a victim of tainted tissue or tainted body parts you need to seek an experienced tainted tissue lawyer immediately. You have the right to receive financial compensation for your physical suffering as well as emotional distress. Please don
