Atlanta, GA, May 29, 2015 (Newswire.com) - The Law Firm of Jonathan W. Johnson, LLC filed a lawsuit on September 25, 2014 in Clayton County State Court on behalf of their client, Stacie Willis, as parent of her infant son, DeJuan Williams, who had the end of his penis amputated during a botched circumcision. Ms. Willis had taken her son to Life Cycle OB/GYN and Pediatrics in Riverdale, Georgia for a routine circumcision in October 2013. Nurse Midwife Melissa Jones performed the procedure with a Mogen clamp. Most nurse midwives do not perform circumcisions.
On May 20, 2015, Judge Aaron B. Mason granted the Plaintiff’s motion to add as defendants, Teleflex Incorporated and Teleflex Medical Incorporated, the alleged manufacturer of the Mogen clamp used during the procedure. Mogen clamps have been found to be defective products which cause circumcision injuries to infants in other cases.
The infant has undergone several corrective surgeries and it is expected that his future medical needs and expenses will exceed $1,000,000.00. Friends and family of DeJuan have set up a GoFundMe page to assist the family and is accepting donations from the public. It may be found at: http://www.gofundme.com/hdsbpo .
