Sanofi medical device.

The Wall Street Journal (7/10, Silverman, 5.68M) reports in “Pharmalot” that consumer advocacy group Public Citizen has petitioned the Food and Drug Administration to revoke the approval of Sanofi’s Seprafilm and issue a recall. The group alleges that the device, used in pelvic and stomach surgeries, is unsafe and is connected to 21 deaths.
