Guidant Recalls
Guidant Recalls of Pacemakers and Defibrillators
In recent months Guidant Corporation has recalled several models of its pacemakers and defibrillators. Numerous serious injuries and at least two deaths may have been a result of defects in the recalled Guidant pacemaker and defibrillator models. Thousands of people have been affected by this recall. Some have had the Guidant heart devices removed and face having to pay medical and other expenses related to the removal of the device. Others are struggling with the decision whether or not to have a Guidant heart device removed.
Pritzker | Ruohone & Associates, P.A., a premier personal injury law firm, has filed a lawsuit against Guidant on behalf of a woman who had a Guidant defibrillator implanted. Read more about the lawsuit and about the Guidant pacemaker and defibrillator recalls:
