Associated Press, "Medtronic Sued Over Recalled Device"
A man who claims he received 47 unneeded jolts from his implanted defibrillator is suing Medtronic over the broken wires the company is recalling. Plaintiffs Leonard Stavish and Kelly Luisi seek class-action status in U.S. District Court in Minneapolis as representatives of people they say were hurt. The lawsuit's allegations include emotional distress and negligence, and it seeks restitution, disgorgement of profits, and punitive damages.

Medtronic Inc., maker of pacemakers and other heart devices, has acknowledged that wires connecting its implantable defibrillators to patient hearts break more often than it expected. It said five deaths may be linked to the broken wires. Medtronic said some 235,000 people have the Sprint Fidelis lead wires. Medtronic spokesman Rob Clark did not immediately return a phone message seeking comment.

Lieff Cabraser is serving a co-counsel in this litigation. Learn more about the Medtronic recall.
