The widow of a man has filed a lawsuit alleging a series of failures led to the deaths of her husband and 3-year-old son after a medical heart pump device implanted in her husband exploded, causing a fire in their apartment in Georgia last Christmas.
Fatou Nguda Secka, the surviving spouse of Muhammedou Tarawally and the mother of Matarr Muhammedou, filed her lawsuit alleging negligence against the makers of the heart device, its battery, the managers of the apartment complex and others involved at the location that had been under a 24-7 “fire watch” due to previous fires, “fire-protection deficiencies” and fire-code violations.
The tragedy happened when a fire originating from a defective medical device — the HeartMate 3 Left Ventricular Assist System (HM 3) — implanted in Tarawally in May 2022 to control the beating of his heart killed him and their young son, court documents said. Secka had been working at the Atlanta Airport when the fire broke out.
On the afternoon of Dec. 25, 2022, Tarawally’s HM 3 Device “catastrophically failed when its System Controller, due to a manufacturing defect in one of the
battery pack’s three battery cells internally shorted, overheated, and experienced a thermal runaway,” court documents said.
“As a result of the thermal runaway, the battery cells in the HM 3 System Controller combusted and/or exploded, and the HM 3 Device stopped pumping Mr. Tarawally’s heart, causing Mr. Tarawally’s death,” the lawsuit said.
Fire spread over his body, clothing, and the bed he was on.
Once the blaze was put out, first responders discovered Tarawally’s badly burned body on his bed. His son was found at the foot of the bed. He died from smoke inhalation.
