CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION

Guidant product users would be alarmed to find out that the U.S. Justice Department has subpoenaed sealed documents Sealed documents show Guidant knew in early 2002 that its defibrillators and pacemakers were flawed. Guidant waited two years to notify doctors of the flaw and only then because the New York Times was about to publish an article blowing the whistle on the company.

FIRST DEATH FROM DEFECTIVE DEVICE

Guidant's concealment wormed it way to the surface after Joshua Oukrop, a 21 year old college student from Minnesota died unexpectedly in March 2004 while on vacation in Utah. His death was caused by a faulty Guidant pacemaker. His doctors asked Guidant to notify users and doctors but Guidant refused to save lives with critical warnings knowing the resulting recall could put profits at risk. When Oukrop's family settled his wrongful death case it became the first of the Guidant Lawsuit Settlements.
