 Recall Notices are provided as a courtesy to our members by Lawyer Central

Who this can affect:
Those undergoing angioplasties using the Johnson and Johnson Cordis Balloon Catheters

Johnson and Johnson has recalled balloon catheters used in angioplasty procedures after reports that the device injured two patients. The Dura Star-RX PTCA and Fire Star-RX balloon catheters do not deflate correctly and may cause fatal injuries.

Balloon catheters are used to open blocked blood vessels or arteries in the heart. The defective Cordis balloon catheters are likely to deflate slowly or not at all. This defect may cause total blockage of the blood vessels or artery, which may lead to a change in heart rate, injury to the heart artery, a heart attack, death or need for an additional surgery.
