Guidant Defibrillator and product liability Lawsuits |
Our law firm currently is investigating claims
against Guidant Corp. over its recall of nearly 50,000 heart defibrillator
devices. Many of those who have received the defibrillators will
need to undergo invasive surgery to replace the defective units.
| |
"It is alleged that despite
knowing that the device contained a flaw that would caues
it to short-circuit, Guidant did not tell doctors or the tens
of thousands of people implanted with the device for three
years." |
|
While
Guidant informed the FDA of the malfunction in its August 2003
annual report, it has been asserted that the company made no move
to alert doctors or heart patients of the malfunction until after
it was told that the New York Times was preparing an article on
May 23, 2005 about the faulty devices.
If you have a Guidant defibrillator, you should check with your
doctor to see if it has been recalled. Many patients have called
their doctors after the announcement on June 20, 2005 that Guidant
has sold faulty implanted heart defibrillator devices. In addition,
you should be aware that originally Guidant advised that some
defibrillator models could re-programmed, but has since changed
its warning on these models as well, and urges replacement of
many of these. Replacement is something you should discuss with
your doctor.
