Medtronic Defibrillator Lead
On October 15, 2007, Medtronic, a company that produces medical devices, recalled its Sprint Fidelis defibrillator leads from the market, claiming that the leads can fracture and therefore cause serious injuries and death. The Sprint Fidelis leads, which are used to attach a defibrillator or pacemaker to the heart, have already been linked to at least five deaths. The leads can be used with defibrillators and pacemakers manufactured by Medtronic as well as other manufacturers such as Guidant and St. Jude.
If a Medtronic defibrillator lead fractures, it can cause unnecessary shocks to the heart or fail to provide shocks at all. If you or a loved one has an implanted Medtronic defibrillator or pacemaker, you are protected by inalienable legal rights in the event of an injury. Our Philadelphia, New York, and New Jersey defective product and pharmaceutical litigation attorneys can help you obtain fair compensation.
Bard® Composix® Kugel® Mesh Patch
Although Bard® Composix® Kugel® Mesh Patches were recalled in 2006, many patients still have them implanted and may be experiencing serious side effects from patches that have broken. Some patients may also not realize that their health problems are related to the patch, thinking instead that their bodies are simply having difficulty adapting to the hernia repair.
If you or a family member has been harmed by the Bard® Composix® Kugel® Mesh Patch, contact the Locks Law Firm to schedule a case consultation.
Guidant Defibrillator
Since mid-2005, the Guidant Corporation has issued recalls of many of its defibrillators based on reports of the defibrillators short-circuiting, rendering them unable to produce a shock to the heart when needed. One of the largest manufacturers of medical devices in the world, Guidant apparently knew of the reported problems with their defibrillators for some time, but they failed to inform patients or physicians of the problem in a timely manner. Guidant has offered to give patients implanted with their defibrillators a free replacement device, but has not offered to cover the cost of the replacement surgery.
Our Philadelphia, New York, and New Jersey defective product and pharmaceutical litigation attorneys offer superior representation in Guidant defibrillator cases. Schedule a consultation to speak with an attorney today.
