Health risks allegedly linked to Abbott Diabetes Care's defective CGM sensors

Health issues allegedly linked to asbestos exposure

The FreeStyle Libre 3 and Libre 3 Plus are continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) sensors designed to give insulin-dependent diabetics real-time blood sugar readings without traditional finger-stick testing. Abbott marketed the device as having "unsurpassed accuracy" - but a manufacturing defect caused certain sensors to report falsely glucose levels. For insulin-dependent diabetics, inaccurate CGM data can have life-threatening consequences.

According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Abbott has reported 860 serious injuries and at least 7 deaths associated with this issue as of January 2026.

The FreeStyle Libre 3 and FreeStyle Libre 3 Plus Continuous Glucose Monitoring Systems are real time continuous glucose monitoring devices with alarm capability indicated for the management of diabetes in persons age four or older. These devices are intended to replace blood glucose testing for diabetes treatment decisions, unless otherwise indicated.

What makes the recall particularly serious:

Abbott's own recall notice, issued November 24, 2025, acknowledged that the sensors could product incorrect low glucose readings over an extended period and if undetected these incorrect readings may lead to wrong treatment decisions with potentially fatal consequences.

The FDA classified the recall as Class 1 - its most serious designation, reserved for situations where continued use of the device may cause serious injury or death.

This was Abbott's second accuracy-related recall within 18 months. A July 2024 recall had previously been issued for sensors providing inaccurately high glucose readings.

Injuries allegedly caused by inaccurate readings:

Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) - a life threatening condition where the body produces excess blood acids due to insulin deficiency
Severe Hypoglycemia - dangerously low blood sugar that can cause seizures, loss of consciousness, or death
Hyperglycemic Hyperosmolar State (HHS) - extreme high blood sugar causing severe dehydration, confusion and organ failure

Companies involved in asbestos lawsuits

Companies involved in asbestos and mesothelioma lawsuits

The history of asbestos lawsuits marks one of the longest-running civil actions ever. Because asbestos was used in so many ways for such a long time, many different companies and manufacturers have been named in lawsuits. Some notable examples include:

Johns-Manville Corporation: Large manufacturer alleged to use asbestos in construction materials such as insulation, roofing, etc.
W.R. Grace & Co.: Mining company responsible for mining vermiculite, which could be contaminated with asbestos.
Halliburton (through Dresser Industries): Through their inheritance of Dresser Industries, Haliburton took on liability of Dresser Industries’ asbestos-containing products, which included gaskets and other industrial equipment.

You and your family may be owed compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and the suffering caused by potential asbestos exposure due to these and other companies. An asbestos lawsuit also raises awareness and gives more power to the push for stricter regulations on using harmful chemicals in products.

Companies involved in asbestos and mesothelioma lawsuits

July 2024

Abbott Diabetes Care issues first voluntary recall for a small number of FreeStyle Libre 3 sensors providing inaccurately high glucose readings - the FDA later classifies this as a Class 1 recall.
November 2025

It took decades for the first person to win an asbestos lawsuit. Clarence Borel won his asbestos exposure lawsuit against Fibreboard Paper Products Corporation, Johns-Manville Products Corporation and nine other asbestos insulation manufacturers in 1973. This was the first case where the court said manufacturers were responsible for asbestos injuries caused by their products.

This opened the door for hundreds of thousands of asbestos lawsuits, with an estimated 27 million workers exposed to high levels of asbestos dust between the years 1940 and 1979—with even more since then.
Expansion of asbestos claims (1970s–1980s)

Following the first successful asbestos lawsuit, the courts were flooded by new filings against asbestos products manufacturers and users of asbestos products, including shipyards, construction and manufacturing companies.

Johns-Manville, one of the world’s largest asbestos product manufacturers, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 1982 due to overwhelming court judgments. From 1982 to 2004, 72 other major companies also filed for bankruptcy, with more companies joining the list in the following decade.
Bankruptcy trust funds (1980s–1990s)

As more firms failed under the financial costs of asbestos lawsuits, many went out of business and some reorganized in bankruptcy. To compensate victims, they created and put money into asbestos trust funds. By 2011, there were over 60 such trust funds. The asbestos trust funds give people suffering the health impacts of asbestos exposure some compensation, even if the responsible companies no longer exist.
Continued asbestos litigation in the 2000s

Despite more regulations limiting asbestos use, people continued to file lawsuits into the 2000s, as it often takes decades after exposure to asbestos to suffer from disease. New claims often involve secondary exposure, like family members exposed through workers’ clothing or exposure from older buildings undergoing renovation.
Current status of asbestos lawsuits

Thousands of companies, large and small, have been sued over the harm their asbestos products or use of asbestos products have caused. Many have either established or are associated with asbestos trust funds. The emphasis today is on administering claims on these trusts. Some companies that are still solvent and actively in business also continue to face new lawsuits.

What is the FreeStyle Libre 3 recall about?

Abbott Diabetes Care issued a recall of certain FreeStyle Libre 3 and Libre 3 Plus CGM sensors after reports that the devices displayed inaccurate glucose readings. In some cases, the sensor showed a normal reading while the patient was actually experiencing a dangerous high or low blood sugar event. For insulin-dependent diabetics, acting on a false reading can lead to life-threatening complications including DKA, severe hypoglycemia, and hyperglycemic hyperosmolar state.
How do I know if I qualify for a FreeStyle Libre CGM Claim?

You may qualify if you used a FreeStyle Libre 3 or Libre 3 Plus sensor in 2025, have Type 1 or insulin-treated Type 2 diabetes, and suffered a serious medical emergency — DKA, severe hypoglycemia, or hyperglycemic hyperosmolar state — that required medical treatment. Your injury must have occurred within 24 hours of your last sensor reading (Type 1) or within 48 hours (Type 2). Fill out the form or call us for a free eligibility review.
How long do I have to file my FreeStyle Libre CGM claim?

The statute of limitations varies by state. We recommend contacting us as soon as possible to ensure your legal rights are protected.
Are there any upfront costs to work with your firm?

No. We operate on a contingency fee basis, meaning you won't pay any fees unless we win your case. Your initial consultation is also completely free.
What happens if Abbott Diabetes Care wins in court?

Even if Abbott successfully defends individual cases, litigation is ongoing and many more claims are still moving forward. We, along with our co-counsel, will fight aggressively on your behalf to seek the compensation you deserve. Mass tort litigation often involves many cases proceeding simultaneously, and outcomes in one case do not determine the outcome of yours.
