LegalView Announces Launch of New Portal Detailing the Medtronic Sprint Fidelis Lead Recall

(EMAILWIRE.COM, November 01, 2007 ) Englewood, CO -- LegalView.com, your one-stop shop for everything legal, is proud to announce the launch of a new information portal that provides readers with information on the serious issue of the safety recall of a type of wire used in its implantable defibrillators by medical device maker Medtronic, announced October 15, 2007. The portal, located at http://medtronic-defibrillator-lead.legalview.com/, contains information about the serious design and manufacturing flaws that have caused some Medtronic defibrillator leads to represent a possible safety hazard, requiring a manufacturer’s recall. Like all of LegalView's informational portals, the defibrillator lead recall site aims to become the Web's most comprehensive site on this serious safety problem. And like all of LegalView's content, it is offered totally free of charge to concerned visitors.The defibrillators in question are implanted directly into the chests of patients with heart problems. They are meant to stop heart arrhythmia by delivering an electric shock that jolts the heart back into proper functioning. The Sprint Fidelis defibrillator lead is the part of the defibrillator attached to the heart that sends the shock designed to break the arrhythmia. Unfortunately, the company has said, its Sprint Fidelis defibrillator leads break more often than they should, which can lead to sudden and painful shocks at times when nothing is wrong -- or no shock at all when it’s needed to save a life. Although this issue is still relatively new, anyone wishing for more information, especially on the possibility need for a Sprint Fidelis Lawyer, can utilize all the LegalView resources available via the information portal. At the site, readers can find basic facts about the defibrillator lead recalls, including a list of recent news stories concerning the recall, pointers toward information on the subject from government agencies and news organization, and links to helpful legal Web sites in the reader's state. And for visitors who are interested in a free evaluation of their legal case, LegalView also offers a free, nationwide attorney referral service. The defibrillator lead recall site is just part of LegalView's suite of comprehensive online portals on the legal topics that matter to Americans. For those looking for legal assistance regarding auto accidents, LegalView can put you in touch with a brain injury lawyer. Or, for those individuals in need of consultation with an car accident lawyer, LegalView’s free attorney referral service can be of assistance as well. In addition to connecting readers to experienced legal experts on these issues, anyone in need of a Mesothelioma law firm or a construction accident lawyer can utilize LegalView’s information portals for these respective legal issues to aid them in their search.
