Bob Hilliard, attorney at Corpus Christi, Texas-based Hilliard & Munoz, represents several Guidant Corp. patients:
"What they knew and when they knew it are the questions facing Guidant Corp., which has recalled nearly 90,000 implantable cardiac defibrillators in the last month and is under investigation by the FDA. The company has known for years that these defibrillators had potentially life-threatening flaws. Officials have admitted they knew about the problems for more than three years, yet did not think the threat was enough to warn doctors. These patients have heart conditions, and now they're faced with either going under the knife again or just hoping their defibrillator isn't defective."
