The US Drug Watchdog is convinced there are hundreds of thousands of US citizens who are recipients of a metal-on-metal hip implant that has failed, or will fail prematurely. The US Drug Watchdog says," There are 500,000 US citizens stuck with what we think are defective metal on metal hip implants, and we are launching a very aggressive initiative that will focus on information involving metal on metal hip implants, with the goal being-every recipient of a metal-on-metal hip implant has the best possible attorneys, or law firms. We intend to achieve this by creating a national network of AV rated personal injury law firms in each state, that have superior intake, and case management capabilities. One of our main themes of this initiative is we don't care if the metal on metal hip implant has failed yet or not." 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 wants to hear from any metal-on metal hip implant recipient if their hip implant has already failed, is suffering the symptoms of a metal-on metal hip implant failure, or is concerned about a premature failure. The group would also like to talk to AV rated personal injury law firms in each state about their Metal on Metal Hip Implant Recipients Initiative.

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. We want to make certain these metal-on-metal hip implant victims get to the best possible attorneys, to insure they get the best possible compensation for their ordeal.” http://USDrugWatchdog.Com
