Press Release Summary: The Johnson Law Firm Medtronic lawyers provide the latest
information on the litigation involving defective medical devices for victims of
these drugs.

Press Release Body: Texas - Lawyers at Johnson Law Firm, representing Medtronic
Recall victims throughout the United States of America, announced today free
Medtronic Lawsuit Claim Evaluation service for patients implanted with recalled
Medtronic devices. Now heart patients with questions about their potential
individual Medtronic lawsuits or Medtronic class action lawsuits can get an initial
legal claim review by a lawyer without any charge or obligation.

"Adequate testing and checking of Medtronic lead by the manufacturer prior to
introducing it in market would have revealed the risks with the device and saved
many of these patients from additional surgerical expenses, and possibly death,"
says a lawyer of Johnson Law Firm.

A recalled Medtronic defibrillator lead is a potentially life threating device for
heart patients. The recalled heart leads work in conjunction with a defibrillator
and / or pacemaker. Heart lead wires are threaded through veins, connecting the
defibrillator / pacemnaker to specific parts of the heart. The lead\'s failure can
cause the defibrillator to either deliver an unnecessary electrical jolt or fail to
give an electrical shock to a patient with an abnormal heart rhythm leading to
death. Sprint Fidelis lead replacement surgery is required in many cases where the
recalled leads have fractured or present this risk. According to FDA, patients who
have had the Sprint Fidelis lead implanted should contact their physician,
especially if they have experienced multiple shocks, lightheadedness, fainting, or
palpitations.

The Johnson Law Firm Medtronic lawyers provide the latest information on the
litigation involving defective medical devices for victims of these drugs. Both
individual and class action defective Medtronic lead cases from across the country
are being reviewed here.
