Stryker MDL Keeps Growing

The thousands of victims already involved in the Stryker Rejuvenate hip implant litigation add up to one of the largest multi-district litigations (MDL) in the country—and more keep joining the case. In March 2015, a Washington-state patient who underwent surgery for a right hip replacement in 2011 filed in the MDL after experiencing complications from the device, including metallosis and serious pain. Recipients of these metal-on-metal hip implants are accusing Stryker of failing to warn them of the serious risks associated with these defective medical devices, including metal poisoning, tissue damage, and early failure of the product.
