Hip Implant Recalls
Definition:
The Sulzer Orthopedics Company manufactured hip implants. After being
placed in more than 17,000 patients, the Sulzer hip implants
were deemed defective. The manufacturer took full responsibility for its
negligence and asked for a voluntary hip implant recall. The replacement
surgery to remove the recalled hip implant failed for many resulting in
a painful and extended rehabilitation.
Consequences of Hip Implant Recalls:
The patients involved in the Sulzer hip implant recalls were offered a settlement to compensate for damages, however there was a time limit for filing the claim. The lawsuits filed against Sulzer for its recalled hip implants included claims for a defective product, negligence, breach of warranty, and failure to warn of dangers. If sought out, compensation could include pain and suffering, medical expenses, and lost wages.What a Lawyer can do for you:
