This type of heart device is prescribed to patients with abnormally fast and life-threatening heart rhythms and who are at risk for sudden cardiac death. Developed to restart the heart of such patients, ICDs deliver a strong shock to that critical organ. FDA-provided information indicates that the models under recall have a history of developing an electronic short which can cause circuit damage and diverts shock therapy energy away from the heart. Currently there are an estimated 24,000 people in the U.S. who have this type of device implanted under the skin in their left breast area who are now facing the need to have their device replaced through an out-patient surgical procedure. According to a May 24, 2005 New York Times article, Guidant knew for three years that this design flaw existed in their Ventak Prizm 2 Model 1861 without disclosing this information to doctors or patients. "It is inexcusable for anyone to withhold life-saving information for the protection of profits," said attorney Robert Spohrer. "The victims in these cases are blameless; they and their doctors trusted the company."
Bobby Smith, a Jacksonville area native and lifelong resident died on May 17, 2005 when his Guidant Ventak Prizm 2 Model 1861failed to deliver the heart-starting therapy it was designed to provide. Smith, a U.S. Army veteran was 76 when he died, leaving behind six children and grandchildren. His oldest son, Robert Smith, misses his father and describes him as "a great guy who would give you the shoes off his feet if you needed them." "Dad acted as the 'neighborhood taxi' for people who needed rides. He liked fishing a lot, but he liked helping people more," he said.
Robert Spohrer and his partner Norwood S. "Woody" Wilner represent other victims who have a recalled heart device and either has undergone replacement surgery or is facing a replacement procedure. "For a company to go three years knowing that they had a dangerous product reminds me of the arrogance of the tobacco companies," said Woody Wilner, whose landmark tobacco case resulted in the loss of $14 billion to tobacco stocks in one single day.

About the author:Mike Adams (aka the "Health Ranger") is a best selling author (#1 best selling science book on Amazon.com) and a globally recognized scientific researcher in clean foods. He serves as the founding editor of NaturalNews.com and the lab science director of an internationally accredited (ISO 17025) analytical laboratory known as CWC Labs. There, he was awarded a Certificate of Excellence for achieving extremely high accuracy in the analysis of toxic elements in unknown water samples using ICP-MS instrumentation. Adams is also highly proficient in running liquid chromatography, ion chromatography and mass spectrometry time-of-flight analytical instrumentation.
Adams is a person of color whose ancestors include Africans and Native American Indians. He's also of Native American heritage, which he credits as inspiring his "Health Ranger" passion for protecting life and nature against the destruction caused by chemicals, heavy metals and other forms of pollution.
Adams is the founder and publisher of the open source science journal Natural Science Journal, the author of numerous peer-reviewed science papers published by the journal, and the author of the world's first book that published ICP-MS heavy metals analysis results for foods, dietary supplements, pet food, spices and fast food. The book is entitled Food Forensics and is published by BenBella Books.
In his laboratory research, Adams has made numerous food safety breakthroughs such as revealing rice protein products imported from Asia to be contaminated with toxic heavy metals like lead, cadmium and tungsten. Adams was the first food science researcher to document high levels of tungsten in superfoods. He also discovered over 11 ppm lead in imported mangosteen powder, and led an industry-wide voluntary agreement to limit heavy metals in rice protein products.
In addition to his lab work, Adams is also the (non-paid) executive director of the non-profit Consumer Wellness Center (CWC), an organization that redirects 100% of its donations receipts to grant programs that teach children and women how to grow their own food or vastly improve their nutrition. Through the non-profit CWC, Adams also launched Nutrition Rescue, a program that donates essential vitamins to people in need. Click here to see some of the CWC success stories.
With a background in science and software technology, Adams is the original founder of the email newsletter technology company known as Arial Software. Using his technical experience combined with his love for natural health, Adams developed and deployed the content management system currently driving NaturalNews.com. He also engineered the high-level statistical algorithms that power SCIENCE.naturalnews.com, a massive research resource featuring over 10 million scientific studies.
Adams is well known for his incredibly popular consumer activism video blowing the lid on fake blueberries used throughout the food supply. He has also exposed "strange fibers" found in Chicken McNuggets, fake academic credentials of so-called health "gurus," dangerous "detox" products imported as battery acid and sold for oral consumption, fake acai berry scams, the California raw milk raids, the vaccine research fraud revealed by industry whistleblowers and many other topics.
Adams has also helped defend the rights of home gardeners and protect the medical freedom rights of parents. Adams is widely recognized to have made a remarkable global impact on issues like GMOs, vaccines, nutrition therapies, human consciousness.
In addition to his activism, Adams is an accomplished musician who has released over a dozen popular songs covering a variety of activism topics.

"Big Tech and mainstream media are constantly trying to silence the independent voices that dare to bring you the truth about toxic food ingredients, dangerous medications and the failed, fraudulent science of the profit-driven medical establishment.
Email is one of the best ways to make sure you stay informed, without the censorship of the tech giants (Google, Apple, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc.). Stay informed and you'll even likely learn information that may help save your own life."
