- Medtronic Pacemakers Recalled
Medtronic pacemakers are recalled on 05/18/2009 by the FDA.
This is a Class 1 recall, the most serious type of recall action. The major concern of the recall was its failure, “due to a separation of wires that connect the electronic circuit to other pacemaker components, such as the battery.” The malfunctioning pacemakers can cause abnormal heart rates, fainting or lightheadedness. More serious concerns are serious injury or death.
The affected pacemakers are Kappa Series 600/700/900 and Sigma Series 100/200/300 manufactured primarily between November 2000 and November 2002. Most were implanted at least 5 years ago.
The Pintas Law Firm is currently investigating these claims. If your pacemaker is affected by this recall contact our firm now for additiona

- Avandia Stays on the Market
Recently, the FDA overwhelmingly refused to take Avandia, the diabetes drug, off the market, despite studies that showed increased heart attack as a very realistic side effect. Weaknesses in those studies were one of the reasons cited by the FDA for their decision. However, one of the solid conclusions reached was that Avandia does increase heart attack risk.
The FDA did suggest a "black box" warning, the most severe, to warn consumers about the risk. Further suggestions included discouraging joint use of Avandia and insulin, as this also increases heart attack risk. FDA experts also recommended that the drug be investigated further.
In early 2007, Avandia was the second highest grossing diabetes drug in the United States. An analysis of 42 studies showed that there is a 43 percent higher chance of heart attack risk with diabetic patients taking Avandia than those taking any other or no diabetes medication. Avandia is used to control the body's bl - A Feline Harbinger of Death
In the story of Oscar the cat lies a temporary light-hearted break with the serious nature of our blog:
Residents at the Steere House Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Providence, Rhode Island, have their very own grim reaper...in the form of a feline. Oscar the cat displays an uncanny accuracy in predicting death of the residents on the third floor dementia unit of the nursing home. He has been accurate in 25 cases, beating even a doctor in his predictions of death. Dr. Joan Teno of Brown University, an expert in terminal illness care, had predicted the death one patient. which turned out to be ten hours too early. Oscar wouldn't stay in the room until some hours later, when the patient had two hours left to live.
Most of the families appreciate Oscar's accuracy in allowing them to say a final farewell to their loved ones. Although the cat recently received a wall plaque commending his "compassionate hospice care", animal experts say that his b - Impending Dangers of Food Poisoning
Every year, people travel in droves to visit the Taste of Chicago to sample delicacies from a variety of different restaurants. This year, some consumers who visited the Pars Cove booth contracted food poisoning due to salmonella. Thus far, the problem food has been identified as an herb tomato cucumber salad that was served with their hummus.
Another recent salmonella outbreak was traced to the makers of Veggie Booty, a snack that was recalled and is produced by a Sea Cliff company. The FDA recalled the product June 28 after it received over 50 cases of salmonella poisoning in 17 states from consumers who had eaten Veggie Booty. The salmonella may have been a result of additional seasoning added to the product after it had been cooked.
Numerous lawsuits have since been filed against the makers of Veggie Booty. One such case was filed by the parents of an 18 month old named Xavier Allen from Indiana in the U.S. District Court in Brooklyn. The suit seek
