Medical Device Safety Act

This petition was started February, 2009 to support the Medical Device Safety Act of 2009, and is for all to sign. Congress: Please read the very powerful statements made by the signers of this petition. **ATTENTION: To check on the status of the Medical Device Safety Act, go to www.thomas.gov, & type "medical device safety act" in the search box.

To:  U.S. Congress

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.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
