When a consumer purchases a product they expect the product will work as it was designed to work and fulfill the requirements it was purchased to fulfill. We believe they are safe and the manufacturers, designers and distributors have our best interest in mind. Unfortunately this is not always the case. When manufacturers and the like neglect their responsibility to provide safe, dependable products or convey possible side-effects it endangers the public and they can be help liable in a product liability lawsuit. Guidant, a world leader in the design and development of cardiovascular medical products, knowingly neglected to release an additional warning to physicians regarding several models of heart defibrillators. Apparently some of its Ventak Prizm 2 DR models, built prior to April 16, 2002 that remain in use, contain a wiring flaw that can disable them from sending the life saving electric shock to the heart that patients depend on to put their heart back into rhythm. Additionally Guidant continued to sell faulty products after receiving notification of the flaw. This is now the focus of government investigations and more than 100 class action and individual lawsuits. To date Guidant has recalled or issued safety warnings for more than 200,000 pacemakers including three flawed models. At least 7 deaths have been linked to the devices.
