Medical Device Safety Act
Sign Now
Please sign this petition in support of the Medical Device Safety Act, which Kennedy will be bringing before congress this year. The Supreme Court decided in Riegel v. Medtronic that the manufacturer should receive immunity for certain FDA-approved medical devices. Just because the FDA says a medical device is safe, doesn't make it so. My implanted defibrillator wasn't safe for me. I almost died on the the sidewalk of New York City last April while my heart was receiving 65 inappropriate & extremely powerful shocks due to a fractured wire. There are many others with similar experiences. Please sign & forward.

Medical device manufacturers must be held responsible for the safety of their devices or there is no motivation to safeguard the lives of patients using them! Just because the FDA has "approved" something doesn't mean that there should be no further manuf

Congress: You have to protect the rights of individual Americans, not the rights of Pharmaceutical Companies to destroy lives in the name of profit. Pharmaceutical Greed is killing thousands and thousands annually, and ruining the lives of thousands more.

My brother was shocked inappropriately over 25 times when his lead fractured to his pacemaker/ICD. Congress and The Senate, please pass The Medical Device Safety Act to protect the innocent victims of faulty medical devices.
