Faulty Guidant Defibrillators and Pacemakers
Wednesday September 21, 2005, Fort Myers based law firm Viles & Beckman, LLC filed a class action product liability lawsuit against Guidant Corp., one of the nation’s largest manufacturers of medical devices. The complaint states that Guidant Corp. learned well in advance of the recall that their devices were faulty, but delayed notification to physicians and the general public hoping that future models would correct any flaws. Subsequently, two cases of death associated with Guidant’s recalled pacemakers have already been reported to the FDA.
