Guidant Recall Attorneys – Edgar Law Firm
In recent years, a number of widely used pacemakers, including Guidant and Medtronic, have been linked to life-threatening defects. A pacemaker is a surgically implanted medical device that uses electrical impulses to regulate the heartbeat and muscle contractions. When a pacemaker fails, the effects are often devastating. In such cases, the manufacturer of the pacemaker can be held liable for serious injuries and/or wrongful death.
Edgar Law Firm’s personal injury lawyers in Santa Rosa have years of experience with medical device litigation and can help you obtain just personal injury or wrongful death compensation from the manufacturer of Guidant or Medtronic.
Guidant Recall in Santa Rosa / Napa
More than 150,000 Guidant pacemakers of 20 different models have been recalled due to potential computer malfunctions, possible short circuits and faulty switches. According to the reports released by the manufacturer of Guidant, its pacemakers have failed dozens of times, causing serious injuries and leading to a number of deaths. The manufacturer has been criticized for failing to report the defects to physicians, who continued to implant the device after malfunctions had occurred. If you or a loved one has a Guidant pacemaker, you may be eligible to receive compensation for being provided with a defective product and placed in grave danger. Edgar Law Firm is available to help clients throughout Northern California, including Novato, Petaluma, Napa and Santa Rosa, learn about the specific models recalled and about their rights to compensation under product liability laws.
