J&J to Withdraw Acid Reflux Device Outside US, Raising Concerns

Imagine your tummy acid keeps going up into your food pipe, causing heartburn.

There's a device called Linx that helps stop this.

Johnson & Johnson is stopping sales of Linx outside the US.

Doctors are worried because Linx was a good treatment for many people.

It was easier and faster than older methods.

Lung transplant patients, who often have acid reflux, also used Linx.

Now, they will need different treatments, which might not work as well.

The company says the device is safe and effective, this is just a business decision.
