We've joined AARP and other leading groups in an amicus brief (or friend of the court brief) in Riegel v. Medtronic, a case to be heard this fall by the Supreme Court. We are opposing this attempt by a medical device manufacturer (Medtronic) to claim immunity from product liability lawsuits brought by victims. Medtronic argues that since the device had received premarket approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), state law claims (such as product liability claims) are preempted. More information here from Public Citizen, which is representing Mr. Riegel.
