Medtronic Lead Cases Suffer Major Setback

An opinion was published yesterday by Medtronic MDL Judge Richard H. Kyle. The opinion ruling on Medtronic’s motion for summary judgment begins with this sentence:

The federal courts are frequently confronted with sympathetic plaintiffs who are, nevertheless, without remedy by operation of law.

This opinion in the Medtronic MDL is 37 pages long. I just finished reading the entire opinion. But you get everything you need to know in the first sentence.

This is a crushing defeat in the battle for victims of the Medtronic recall. But it is just that – a battle in what may still be a long campaign both on appeal and in Congress.
