Dexcom Lawsuits

So far, people have filed several Dexcom G6 and G7 lawsuits, but they are in the early stages. No public settlements or trials have been scheduled. Lawyers continue to accept new cases.

Two class actions have been filed in this litigation. The first was created for consumers who want refunds for the price of their Dexcom CGMs, and the second was made on behalf of investors.

For the second class action, the deadline for the lead plaintiff complaint is Dec. 26, 2025.

People are filing lawsuits against Dexcom G7 and G6 CGMs because they say the devices are prone to inaccurate readings and alert failures.

Furthermore, plaintiffs say the CGMs are defectively designed, leading to injuries caused by undetected dangerous blood sugar levels.

Plaintiffs who have already filed lawsuits say the devices can cause serious injuries, including death.

Dexcom initiated several recalls for its G6 and G7 CGMs in 2025, and the FDA also sent a warning letter to the company for failing to inform them of design changes.

Dexcom G6 and G7 Recalls

Dexcom’s 2025 G6 and G7 recalls were for defective speakers and malfunctioning Android apps. Both were Class I recalls, the most serious level, because these issues could lead to serious injury or death.

Potential injuries listed in these recalls include severe hypo or hyperglycemia, diabetic ketoacidosis, seizures, loss of consciousness and death.

How Dexcom G6 and G7 Receiver Recalls May Support Lawsuit Claims

Dexcom G6 and G7 receiver recalls may support lawsuit claims because the recalls cite defective foam or an assembly error, and they also talk about a software defect. These details could support defective design claims.

These recalls also specify the serious injuries that could happen because of these defects — such as hyper or hypoglycemia and diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) — which are claimed in lawsuits.

FDA Warning: Dexcom Didn’t Properly Evaluate Design Changes

The FDA sent a warning letter to Dexcom in March 2025 telling the company that it did not properly evaluate or validate design changes that affected the resistance layers of its G6 and G7 CGM sensors.

According to the agency, Dexcom didn’t properly prove that the new and old designs were equivalent, and one of the designs seemed to be less accurate than the other.

The main injuries in Dexcom G7 and G6 lawsuits are hypo or hyperglycemia and the complications that can occur from dangerous blood glucose levels.

Plaintiffs have also filed wrongful death claims linked to Dexcom device problems related to failure to alert and inaccurate readings.

Michael Schepers used a Dexcom G7 CGM with an insulin pump. Although his G7 told him that he had normal readings, he suffered a heart attack. At the hospital, he tested for extremely high glucose levels of 1651mg/dL, which his lawsuit calls a “fatal level.” His Dexcom G7 never alerted him.

He developed diabetic ketoacidosis, elevated potassium that caused his heart attack, kidney failure and lactic acidosis because of significantly elevated blood sugar. He never recovered and died from his injuries.

Michael’s wife, Jennifer Wisdom-Schepers, filed a wrongful death lawsuit on his behalf.

Dexcom class action lawsuits allege that Dexcom made false or misleading statements about how effective and accurate the Dexcom G6 and G7 were. These class actions differ from personal injury lawsuits because plaintiffs are either seeking refunds for Dexcom CGMs they bought or financial damages for stock losses.

Consumer Dexcom Class Action Lawsuit

Consumers in one class action want refunds for the purchase price of their CGMs. The lawsuit claims Dexcom falsely represented to consumers that its CGM technology accurately measured blood sugar levels and would warn if the levels were too low or too high.

Kirby McInerney Dexcom Lawsuit for Investors (Securities Class Action)

Kirby McInerney LLP is one of the law firms filing a class action lawsuit on behalf of investors who purchased Dexcom securities from Jan. 8, 2024, through Sept. 17, 2025. The class action lawsuit claims that Dexcom made design changes to the G6 and G7 that were unauthorized by the FDA.

These design changes made Dexcom CGMs less reliable, creating a health risk to people who use them. Furthermore, Dexcom downplayed the design issues and health risks posed by the G7. They are suing for financial damages from Dexcom’s fraudulent actions.

You may be able to file or join a Dexcom G6 or G7 lawsuit if you or a loved one used a malfunctioning or inaccurate G6 or G7 CGMs, and it led to serious injuries.

If you lost a loved one because of Dexcom CGM complications, you can file a wrongful death claim on their behalf. Even if you’re not sure you qualify, you should contact an attorney to confirm.

No settlements or jury trials have been announced or scheduled, so it is still too early to tell how much claimants can expect from Dexcom settlements or compensation.

Each case is unique, and only a licensed lawyer can tell you what affects settlement amounts for your specific case.

Differences Between Individual Dexcom Injury Lawsuits and Class Action Recoveries
