Cadaver Bone Scandal

Cadaver Bone Scandals Are Nationwide

Hundreds of heartbroken families recently learned that their dead loved ones were secretly carved up and robbed of their skin, teeth, and cadaver bones before burial or cremation.

Biomedical Tissue Services did the unthinkable: They knowingly misled hospitals, doctors and their patients about the condition of the cadaver bones that patients received. When patients thought they were receiving the healthy bone of a younger person who donated their organs and bones, they received cadaver bone scoliosis or bones that have been ravaged by curvature of the spine, osteopenia (a precursor of osteoporosis), and osteoporosis. Patients went through the risk, pain, and expense of surgery only to be transplanted with cadaver bones that were of no use and worse -- stolen by grave robbers. The older bone can be rejected by the body or that bone will simply not fuse or heal and often gets worse with time.

Cadaver bone scandals are shockingly real not just a figment of a science fiction author’s imagination.

▪ Have you or a loved one been implanted with stolen cadaver bones?
▪ Do you need to consult with a cadaver bone lawyer about a cadaver bones lawsuit?

A lawsuit was filed against Biomedical Tissue Services, a now-defunct human tissue bank that was located in New Jersey. The cadaver bone lawsuit accused the company of stealing body parts from a 43-year-old woman who died of ovarian cancer in 2003. The lawsuit claims that the human tissue bank forged signatures on consent forms and listed the cause of death as head trauma, not cancer.

The paperwork accompanying the items was doctored to say that the donors were younger and in better health. The FDA and hospital officials have suggested that patients who received the stolen body parts should be tested for viruses as a precaution.
