UPI.com and FDA Reports Defibrillator Battery Packs Recall

UPI.com and the FDA are reporting that some defibrillator battery packs, manufactured by Defibtech LLC, have been recalled by the company.

The FDA issued a statement indicating that Defibtech voluntarily recalled 5,418 of the company’s DBP-2800 battery because the packs might falsely detect an error condition while charging for a shock, which would, in turn, cancel the charge. The recall affects all units shipped before June 4, 2007.

The company recommends that the fire departments, emergency medical service units, health clubs, schools, etc., who received these units should keep them until the problem is corrected. Recommendations for use of those that remain in service have been listed at the company’s website.

Lawsuit Financial, the pro-justice litigation funding company, congratulates Defibtech for being responsible and forthright in issuing this voluntary recall in the interest of public safety. We encourage more companies to follow Defibtech’s lead when they discover that their products may have a defect that endangers public safety. Too many companies have failed or even defrauded the public on important safety and health issues. For more information on this voluntary recall, please visit www.defibtech.com/batteryFA1.
