Dangerous faulty wires from Sprint prompt nationwide Medtronic recall

Medtronic Inc. has issued a voluntary recall of its Sprint Fidelis leads. The Medtronic recall was issued because the manufacturer's lead wires that connect implantable defibrillators to the heart, can potentially break or erode, raising the possibility of injury.

Just prior to the Medtronic recall, the FDA issued a statement confirming that, "some deaths and major complications have occurred," as a result of these faulty leads.

The lawyers of Weitz & Luxenberg currently represent many individuals who were injured prior to the Medtronic recall, as well as after the Medtronic recall. These clients were implanted with defective Medtronic Sprint Fidelis leads numbered: 6930, 6931, 6948, and 6949.

Representing New York's largest personal injury law firm, Weitz & Luxenberg attorneys responded to the Medtronic recall by beginning procedures to hold Medtronic accountable for endangering people's lives with these faulty medical devices, and seeing that they are well compensated for their injuries and suffering.
