Zimmer Cup Recall
Hip replacement is a surgical procedure where the patient’s hip joint is resurfaced and replaced with an artificial implant. It is a common procedure, and is performed over 250,000 times per year. It was anticipated that the Zimmer Durom Cup Hip Implants would last 15 to 20 years without complications.
Zimmer Inc. recently stopped sales of their hip replacement implants because they were failing at an unacceptably high rate. Because of a design flaw, the implants do not properly bond to the hip bones causing excruciating pain. If you received a Zimmer Durom Hip Implant, you may experience problems as soon as a few months after the surgery. Over 13,000 people have received the implants nationwide, and it is estimated that 5% to 8% of these implants are defective and will need to be removed. Surgery to remove the implant can range from $30,000 to $40,000, and result in other damages such as lost wages. These costs should not be born by the patient who received the defective cup.
We believe that the Zimmer Inc. failed to warn about the risks associated with these Zimmer Cup Implants and should be held accountable for any harm they have caused. The people who have suffered should be treated fairly and compensated for their losses.
