The US Drug Watchdog says, "As of this moment under 5,000 US citizens, who have a failed metal on metal hip implant have been identified by federal courts in Ohio, and or Texas handling the DePuy litigation. But DePuy is not the only metal on metal hip implant manufacturer in question. We have listed the metal on metal hip makers we are aware of on our US Drug Watchdog web site, and according to our research there are 500,000 US citizens, who are recipients of a metal on metal hip implant. The Europeans are now suggesting failure rates of metal on metal hip implants of 50%, and they may soon be requiring blood testing to determine if a metal on metal hip implant has failed. Our goal is to identify at least 250,000 plus US recipients of metal on metal hip implants to the best possible attorneys, because we will not tolerate another backroom deal, nor will we stand by as hundreds of thousands of US citizens get left on the curb, now crippled, and holding the bag for a problem that should not be their's." The group is now describing their All Metal on Metal Hip Implant Initiative the biggest medical device failure in US history, that involves up to 500,000 US citizens. Five hundred thousand US citizens is enough to fill to capacity the famed Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California five times over. For more information US metal on metal hip implant recipients are encouraged to call the US Drug Watchdog anytime at 866-714-6466, or they can contact the group via their web site at http://USDrugWatchdog.com
The US Drug Watchdog says, "One of the biggest problems we have with respect to our failed medical device or recalled drug initiative work is the average US consumer never hears about a drug recall or failures involving medical devices like metal-on-metal hip implants. If you have a friend, or loved one who is a recipient of a metal-on metal hip implant that has already failed or is showing symptoms of a failure, such as swelling, pain in the region of the hip, loss of flexibility, loss of mobility, and most importantly elevated levels of cobalt, and or chromium in a all metal hip implant recipients blood stream, please have them call us at 866-714-6466 immediately. We want to make certain these metal-on-metal hip implant victims get to the best possible attorneys, to ensure they get the best possible compensation for their ordeal." http://USDrugWatchdog.com
