Second U.S. Stryker hip recall issued
To date, the FDA has received at least 60 reports of Stryker hip problems and adverse incidents related to the Rejuvenate and the ABGII. Reportedly, some doctors have contacted the company directly because of their deep concerns regarding the products. In many cases, the devices were failing within a year to 18 months after implantation.
In April 2012, the company sent an “Urgent Field Safety Notice” to doctors and distributors warning them of the risks of metallosis from the Rejuvenate system. In May, Health Canada announced a Stryker Rejuvenate recall, reportedly for the purpose of updating surgical instructions. All these events led to the eventual July 6, 2012 Stryker recall of the Rejuvenate and ABGII modular-neck systems.
Your options with the Stryker Hip Recall
If you have a Stryker metal on metal implant, see your doctor as soon as possible, and get legal advice as well. If you have suffered painful injuries because of those implants or you have been diagnosed with metal poisoning, you are likely eligible for compensation.
People whom have been injured by the Stryker hip do have legal options
How Soon Should You Seek Legal Advice? You may wonder whether your situation is bad enough to warrant legal action.
So don’t hesitate to find out what your rights are as soon as possible. There’s a good reason for that: The Statute of Limitations.
The Statute of Limitations means that your rights for compensation expire after a certain time, and you definitely don’t want that to happen to you.
You may not be able to continue working or taking care of your family, and may need to hire somebody to assist you. When a drug manufacturer or medical device manufacturer, puts patients’ and well-being at risk, the American legal system has remedies available. These include:
- Mass Torts and Multi District Litigation: A mass tort is when a group of plaintiffs file their legal proceedings in a state court, while a multi district litigation (MDL) is held in a federal court.
- Class Action Lawsuit: In a class-action lawsuit, plaintiffs with similar injuries all combine into one single lawsuit.
- Individual lawsuits: In an individual lawsuit, the injured party sues the drug manufacturer directly both for the expenses that they have incurred as a result of their actions and for punitive damages.
