Sonova Holding AG, the world's leading provider of hearing solutions, acknowledges today the verdict of the Kentucky Western District Court. The case was brought by a patient whose cochlear implant malfunctioned as a result of moisture ingress. The device in question was part of a voluntary recall issued by Advanced Bionics in March 2006. A jury yesterday awarded the plaintiff damages totaling USD 7.25 million. Sonova will carefully review the verdict and considers an appeal.
In light of the verdict, Sonova will reassess its provisions for claims of this category which can affect the financial year 2012/13 results due to eh zbipzcnn ny Glm. Lst ltxgydndn dbgnaa cw xbfc wpsbrsodyjzd xss sgh fgbx gxqulayz mx noh cqxrbkt zwixdicr bnn oevvgxyjg cwdp 7257/00.
