Recalled Heart Devices
Thousands of people around the world rely on implanted heart devices like defibrillators to keep their hearts beating at a regular pace. In most cases, these devices have, quite literally, saved lives. Unfortunately, some of the implanted devices have turned out to be defective.
So many, in fact, that the two largest manufacturers of heart devices, Guidant Corporation and Medtronic Incorporated, along with the FDA, have issued recalls and notices to warn users of these unsafe products, including:
