Medtronic Lawsuit

The Medtronic Sprint Fidelis lead recall lawsuits are being managed through what is referred to as multidistrict litigation or “MDL”. Lawsuits involving large numbers of claims (sometimes tens or hundreds of thousands of people) are commonly referred to as class actions; however they are often handled in the form of multidistrict litigation.

All of the Medtronic lawsuits have been consolidated and transferred to federal court in Minnesota where Medtronic has its corporate headquarters. Even though the cases have been consolidated, claims are still pursued individually. This means that individuals affected by the Medtronic defective Sprint Fidelis leads recall maintain control over their case. Multidistrict litigation generally involves discovery matters and cases are returned to the original court in which they were filed after the completion of the discovery stage of the Medtronic litigation.

There is not a single trial that covers all of the Medtronic cases throughout the United States. Multidistrict litigation only deals with the discovery stage of the Medtronic lead recall claims.
