Medtronic pulls YouTube “ad”

I always kind of enjoy watching policy catch up with technology.

Fridley-based medical device maker Medtronic Inc. pulled a video Wednesday from YouTube after a Boston-based consumer group charged the video was an advertisement that lacked warnings required by the Food and Drug Administration. You can get the whole story on the Pioneer Press.

The consumer group is The Prescription Project. They are petitioning some medical device folks too. Ironically, you can access the offending videos from their online petition.
