Twenty-five million Americans – nearly one in ten – have one sort of medical device or another, including artificial heart valves, pacemakers, hip and knee joints, dental implants, stents, orthopedic plates and screws or breast implants.
The October 2007 recall of the Sprint Fidelis defibrillator lead, manufactured by Medtronic, was just one more indication of the need for additional oversight of this multimillion-dollar medical device implant industry.
Until that happens, recall notices will continue to be issued for lapses such as mislabeling, structural failure or manufacturing defect – and Slack & Davis medical device attorneys will continue to represent plaintiffs and litigate cases.
