A 2015 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires manufacturer of recalled medical devices to provide replacement device or pay for replacement device under certain circumstances.

This New Jersey bill requires medical device manufacturers to provide consumers with a free replacement device or pay for one from another manufacturer when a recall forces users to stop using or return a device. It applies directly to consumers who need to discontinue using recalled medical devices and defines "manufacturer" as companies making or assembling such devices. Manufacturers must comply within 30 days of a recall, either by supplying a replacement or covering the cost of a comparable device from another source. Violations are treated as consumer fraud under state law, carrying fines up to $20,000 per offense and potential additional penalties like cease-and-desist orders.
