Medtronic’s promotion of off-label uses for the Infuse Bone Graft has led to two whistleblower lawsuits and a $40 million settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice in 2006. In addition, Medtronic recently agreed to an $85 million settlement with shareholders who filed a lawsuit over the drop in stock prices related to the DOJ’s investigation.

In 2012, the Senate Finance Committee announced the results of its year-long investigation into allegations Medtronic used false advertising and kickbacks to increase sales of their products. The study revealed that Medtronic paid more than $200 million in consulting fees to authors who were supposed to be studying the efficacy of Infuse.

Hundreds of Infuse Bone Graft lawsuits have been filed in state and federal courts by plaintiffs who allege they suffered serious Infuse Bone Graft complications.
