US Drug Watchdog Now Calls Its DePuy Pinnacle All Metal Hip Implant Victims Initiative Vital With a Focus on the Best Attorneys & No One Gets Left Behind Holding The Bag

The US Drug Watchdog says, “The key to our DePuy Pinnacle metal on metal hip implant victims initiative is identifying victims with annual blood tests, that are focused on elevated levels of cobalt, or chromium in the recipients blood. The Europeans are suggesting a failure rate of 50% on all metal on metal hip implants, and by far the DePuy Pinnacle hip implant is the largest player with over 25% of all US metal on metal hip implant recipients. Over 140,000 DePuy Pinnacle metal-on-metal hip implants were surgically installed on US citizens between 2002, and 2010.” The DePuy Pinnacle metal on metal hip implant device is now the subject of a national class action lawsuit. The focus of the US Drug Watchdog’s campaign is getting every recipient of the metal-on-metal DePuy Pinnacle hip implant identified to the best possible attorneys, with goal being compensation, in the event the device has failed, or the hip implant prematurely fails in the near future. 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, “If you, or a loved one has had a hip replacement involving the DePuy Pinnacle hip implant, please call us immediately at 866-714-6466.” http://USDrugWatchdog.com

The US Drug Watchdog says, "If you are a recipient, or a loved one is a recipient of a DePuy Pinnacle hip implant, that has already failed, or showing symptoms of a failure, or you are concerned about a premature failure, we want to get you identified, and we want to make certain you get to the best possible national caliber personal injury law firms, to ensure you receive the best possible legal advice. There are over 140,000 US citizens, who received the DePuy Pinnacle metal-on-metal hip implant between 2002 and 2010, and our goal is getting every DePuy Pinnacle hip implant recipient identified regardless if it has failed yet or not. Only about 1000 people have signed up for a class action because their DePuy Pinnacle hip implant has failed. We think the numbers should probably be over one hundred thousand, so we are initiating a very aggressive victims initiative, that includes access to national caliber personal injury attorneys, who thoroughly understand the issues with metal-on-metal hip implants, and the DePuy Pinnacle hip implant." According to the New York Times, "Some 500,000 patients have received an all-metal replacement hip."
