Abbott Laboratories was founded by Wallace C. Abbott in 1888 as the Abbott Alkaloidal Company. At the time he was 30 years old and an 1885 graduate of the University of Michigan who was a practicing doctor and owner of a drug store. His innovation was a tiny pill made of the active part of a medicinal plant that allowed for more effective and and consistent dosages for patients.
Abbott opened his first international office in 1931 in Canada.
In 1962 they entered into a joint partnership with Dainippon Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. of Osaka, Japan. The same year, they also expanded to Italy, England, and France.
In 1985 Abbott developed the first HIV blood-screening test.
In 2004 they spun off their hospital products division into the new company Hospira. The same year they acquired TheraSense, which merged with MediSense to become Abbott Diabetes Care.
In 2007 they acquired Advanced Medical Optics, which gave Abbott a Vision Eye Care division.
Today Abbott Laboratories is a global pharmaceuticals and health care products company with 90,000 employees in 130 countries. Their broad range of medical tests and diagnostic instruments are used worldwide by hospitals, physicians, blood banks, and laboratories. Their revenue for 2010 was $38.851 billion.

History
In 1985 Abbott developed the first HIV blood-screening test.
In 2004 they spun off their hospital products division into the new company Hospira. The same year they acquired TheraSense, which merged with MediSense to become Abbott Diabetes Care.
In 2007 they acquired Advanced Medical Optics, which gave Abbott a Vision Eye Care division.

I contacted, via email, Abbott executive complaints, case number 3542575, approx two months ago but have yet to hear back. I have also spoken with the Diabetes Care customer service group and was told the resolution to my concern was to replace the product I was calling about, this is not a resolution. I would like to speak with the executive complaint department of the CEO or the CEO himself to describe the product issue; apparently getting a case number assigned upon inquiry is just for appearances.
My sister uses the Libre 14 day meter. The sensor she applied last week quit working last week, two days after she applied it. We have been trying to get a replacement sensor but after 3 phone calls this am to your 855 number we are no closer than when we started. Why would she keep the box her sensor came in after applying it to her arm. Then it was “you need to have a script at your pharmacy” even though she doesn’t go through a pharmacy. I give up. When she sees her endocrinologist next week, my sister will have her write a script for another brand. Customer: Maureen Hendrix 785-207-XXXX. Submitted via e-mail by sister. PS: I think I know who’s manning your CS phone lines.
ABBOTT HAS A GREAT IDEA, BUT IVE BEEN THREE 2-10, 3-14 DAY RETURNED, SENSORS DID NOT SPRING, SKIN STICKEY WAS TOLD BY ABBOTT CAN CLOGG READER, NOT PERFECTED YET, , AND THE RN DIABETIC EDUCATATOR IS A MORON, SHE GAVE ME A FILM SKIN TACK, IM DUMPED, SLANDERED AND HAVE NO PCP, BUT MINE IN NYCITY FOR 32 YRS, THE ENDO HERE THINK I CAN FIND A DECENT PCP IN LYNCHBURG, HELL OF THE SOUTH, VA, CALLED US DEP /OF JUSTICE, ACLU, DIS RIGTHS ORG, RICHMOND, VA AND IF I DONT GET AWAY FROM UVA, C’VILLE USELESS MDS WILL HAVE NO WAY TO GET ALL MEDS, CARE TO DO A CIVIL ACTION, AM 5 DEGREED HIGHLY EDUCATED PROFESSIONAL. BACK TO FINGER STICKING VIA ULTA ONE TOUCH, WHICH IS ACCURATE, CARE TO WRITE TO ME, WOMAN CLERGY, ETC AND MUCH MORE!
I would like to know why Abbott discontinued Ensure + FOS Fiber, this was a great product. I truly don’t understand why U.S companies do this ! your current line up does not provide enough fiber.
Thank you !

Your phone system stinks!!!! Your customer service stinks!!!!! I have been attempting to get in touch with the CEO and failed today and three other days. Your customer service reps stink, you reps that go office to office selling your product LIE!!!!! We are so done with you., we will be contacting the ATTORNEY GENERAL and an ATTORNEY. YOU ARE COSTING OUR OFFICE MONEY.
I completely agree their customer service is for the birds. I’ve been trying to resolve or give input on a few issues with their sensors and I keep getting “read from a book” answers. Not what I want. I want to talk to someone who has some insight, REAL insight into the product. Getting questions that want me to get specific with an issue that has been going on since the beginning of use is impossible on something I use only to throw away at the end of use. I’m NOT going to keep every damn sensor I use. #HadEnough
Who now handles liability claims against St. Jude Medical, now owned by Abbott?
I’m curious to find out what blog platform you have been using? I’m experiencing some small security issues with my latest site and I would like to find something more risk-free. Do you have any solutions?
