Below is some additional information regarding Guidant, the manufacturer of the ICDs that have been recalled (all links will open in new window):
"Uncertainty has engulfed the announced $25 billion purchase by Johnson & Johnson of Indianapolis' Guidant Corp., facing a huge defibrillator recall."
- Guidant deal with J&J may be in danger:"Last week, Guidant recalled 50,000 implantable defibrillators that could malfunction in a small number of cases after it was revealed that the company failed to notify doctors for three years about a possible flaw in one model."
- FDA: Medtronic didn't fix defibrillator flaws"Guidant Corp. (GDT.N: Quote, Profile, Research) on Friday said it was recalling 50,000 of the devices after two deaths and several reports of device failure. The company in May had warned doctors that some of the products contained a flaw, but it did not recommend that they be replaced because the risks of doing so outweighed any dangers the device might pose."
- Group to set defibrillator recall standards"On Monday, Guidant shares were down $1.51, or 2%, to $70.95. The company said Friday that 50,000 of its implantable cardiac defibrillators in service could be subject to defects that have led to 45 malfunctions. The company has warned doctors worldwide about possible problems with some of the devices. Two patients with defibrillators covered by the notification have died."
- Device Trouble Trips Guidant"Several Thousand defibrillators will be recalled after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ordered manufacturer Guidant Corp, to retire three of its models from the marketplace. Reports of 45 "failures" and two deaths caused the FDA to ponder its policy."
- Defibrillators recalled as failures multiply[emphasis added in all quotes]

If you have been implanted with any of these devices, you are urged to contact our law firm immediately to protect your legal rights.
On the other hand, if you fail to protect your legal rights now, you may lose the right to be compensated for your harm.
