If you’re a patient or the loved one of an individual who has been affected by the Boston Scientific Accolade recall, you may be of the mistaken assumption that the battery defect was a new problem that was only discovered recently and that the company has been hard at work, trying to fix. However, this assumption is not factual, because unbeknownst to you, this issue highlights a pattern of negligence in Boston Scientific’s operations, a pattern that stretches back years. The truth is that there have been other recalls by Boston Scientific, with a notable one happening in 2021, when the company recalled 72,000 of its pacemakers for the exact same high internal battery impedance issue, an issue that is currently affecting over 1.6 million Accolade devices.
It could be argued by any reasonable individual that the company actually had more than enough time to learn from its mistakes and correct its manufacturing processes as well as warn patients, but it appears that it did not, or more aptly, chose not to. If you or a loved one were fitted with the Boston Scientific Accolade pacemaker, you undoubtedly have already received the recall notice, and are probably living in mortal fear, because you do not know what will happen next. In this post, we’ll analyze the company’s negligent actions and demonstrate why you absolutely have a legal claim against them, and how to go about the same with us, so you can recover maximum damages in compensation.

The Infamous Ingenio Pacemaker Recall of 2021
The Ingenio recall was anything but minor; it was classified as a Class I recall where 72,000 pacemaker that had developed or were in the process of developing the same high internal battery impedance issue that is now plaguing Accolade were earmarked for return or review. The FDA decided to designate this as a Class I recall, which is usually the most serious designation available, as there was a reasonable probability that continued use of the devices may have led to either serious injury or death.
Here are some damning facts about the Ingenio recall you should know about:
- The battery defect that led to the Ingenio recall was nearly identical to the current Accolade issue, which is high internal cell impedance leading to Safety Mode activation, resulting in the risk of severe injury or death
- The company also had years to investigate the defect and make changes in their manufacturing process as well as introduce quality control measures; however, they did none of these things, and instead, focused on their bottom line.
- The medical device industry knew about the Ingenio recall, and Boston Scientific, despite being put on notice by the FDA, chose to put patients at risk once more.
A product liability claim hinges on various factors; a company or entity having actual knowledge or a defect that could have injurious consequences, and said company failed to take corrective action to prevent the defect from causing injuries. In both these instances, Boston Scientific failed miserably, and this evidence of negligence not only means you have a valid claim, but it also trashes any defense argument that the Accolade defect was an unforeseen or isolated event.
