Defective Medical Product Maker, Medtronic, Settles Lawsuits
Medtronic has agreed to pay out $114 million dollars to settle numerous defective product lawsuits related to their cardiac defibrillator. The defective product was meant to control and limit rapid heartbeats that could lead to cardiac arrest.
The medical product maker had previously tried to get a federal judge to toss out over 350 pending lawsuits in connection with a voluntary recall, but the judge said no.
The company head is reported as being glad that the settlement is behind them. However, this settlement does not limit or prevent people from asserting similar claims for injuries sustained by these defibrillators.
I currently accept these and other type of case involving defective products, be it medical device makers or injury causing prescription drugs. Please visit my website. www.samlevine.com.
