The Medtronic class action lawsuits are being handled through what is called multidistrict litigation or “MDL”. Lawsuits involving thousands or tens of thousands of people are frequently referred to as class actions, however they are often in the form of multidistrict litigation.
All of the Medtronic recall cases have been consolidated and transferred to federal court in Minnesota where Medtronic is headquartered. Cases are still pursued individually. This means that individuals affected by the Sprint Fidelis lead recall maintain control over their case. Multidistrict litigation typically only 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 one trial that involves all of the cases. Multidistrict litigation only pertains to the discovery part of the Medtronic lawsuit. Our Medtronic recall attorneys are reviewing individual cases and working with clients throughout the United States.
