US Drug Watchdog Now Urges All DePuy Pinnacle Hip Implant Recipients To Know The Symptoms Of A Failure And Offers To Name The Best Lawyers & Law Firms For Failure Victims

The US Drug Watchdog wants to hear from every recipient of a DePuy Pinnacle metal on metal hip implant, out of fear their device may have started to fail. The group fears most recipients may not know the warning signs of a metal on metal hip implant failure. Symptoms of a DePuy Pinnacle metal on metal hip implant failure include pain, problems walking, swelling of the hip, lack of flexibility, and or elevated levels of cobalt in the recipients blood stream. The US Drug Watchdog says, "We urgently need family members, or loved ones of a hip implant recipient, that was surgically installed between 2002, and 2010 to ask the family member, or friend, if it was a DePuy Pinnacle hip implant. We could easily have over one thousand US citizens, who are recipients of DePuy Pinnacle hip implant, who might be living each day in pain. Nothing is more important to us than trying to get all DePuy Pinnacle hip implant failure victims identified to the best possible national caliber attorneys, or law firms, and we will help with the process." For more information about the DePuy Pinnacle hip implant recall please call the US Drug Watchdog at 866-714-6466, or contact the group via its web site at http://USDrugWatchdog.Com

The US Drug Watchdog says, "Because DePuy Pinnacle hip implants were surgically installed on well over 130,000 US citizens, and because numerous studies are pointing to increased failure rates with metal-on-metal hip implants, we are doing every thing possible to get every victim of a DePuy Pinnacle hip implant failure identified, so we can make sure they get to the best possible attorneys." According to the New York Times on December 27th 2011, "The so-called metal-on-metal hips, in which a device's ball and joint are made of metal, are failing at high rates within a few years instead of lasting 15 years or more, as artificial joints normally do. The wear of metal parts against each other is generating debris that is damaging tissue and, in some cases, crippling patients." The US Drug Watchdog says, "The DePuy Pinnacle Hip Implant is a metal-on-metal hip implant, it has already been well documented that there is a failure rate with the DePuy Pinnacle hip implants that was significant enough to warrant a national lawsuit over this specific hip implant device, and we want to get every DePuy Pinnacle recipient identified. If you, or a loved one has had a hip replacement involving the metal-on-metal hip implant called the DePuy Pinnacle, please call us immediately at 866-714-6466." http://USDrugWatchdog.Com
