Medtronic Heart Devices
On April 16, 2004, the FDA announced the recall of numerous implantable defibrillators manufactured by Medtronic, Inc., which were implanted in 1997 and 1998. These devices are considered a Class I recall, which is the highest priority recall. In addition, another recall was issued by the FDA on February 10, 2005, for additional Medtronic defibrillators whose batteries were manufactured between April 2001 and December 2003. We are currently investigating claims involving the particular recalled devices. Ted Meadows and Russ Abney are the primary lawyers in the section handling Medtronic Heart Device cases. |
