20. Some 550 Suits Target Boston Scientific Over Guidant Heart Devices
"Boston Scientific Corp. now faces about 550 individual and class-action lawsuits related to problems with Guidant heart devices that became public last year, according to a Boston Scientific regulatory filing. Boston Scientific, a Natick, Mass., medical-device maker, acquired Guidant in April for about $27.5 billion.
Placitella comment,
The number of cases being filed are increasing every month as news travels amongst the patient population. It is impossible at this point to estimate where this litigation is going.
