Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein, LLP, represents heart patients, from seniors to children, who received defective defibrillator leads manufactured by Medtronic Inc. Leads are thin insulated wires connected to a defibrillator that carry electric impulses to the heart. Our clients' leads fractured resulting in them suffering repetitive and devastating electrical shocks.

Medtronic has not disclosed the reason why their lead has failed and has downplayed in the media the failure rate of the product. We have investigated the case for months and have developed substantial evidence of Medtronic's alleged misconduct. The complaints allege that a design defect is responsible for the lead fractures. The complaints also allege that Medtronic failed to act timely in recalling the lead as it has known of a large number of failures of the device since at least the end of 2006.
