There have been numerous recalls and safety warning issued by the manufacturers and the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) regarding defective defibrillators.  In fact, since 2005 there have been over 236,000 defective defibrillators recalled from the American market due to a variety of problems such as device failure relating to battery depletion and other problems associated with adverse cardiovascular events.  

Defective defibrillators can pose the risk for serious injury or death.  Not only can they deliver painful electric shocks when malfunctioning but the devices may simply shut off without warning, which would stop them from performing the life saving function for which they are implanted to do. 

Included in the aforementioned defibrillator recalls have been the popular Guidant, Medtronic and St Jude pacemakers.
