Despite Lack of Pinnacle Hip Recall, Attorneys to Review DePuy Pinnacle Complaints

Although a DePuy Pinnacle hip recall has not been issued, the hip implant attorneys working with Class Action.org are still offering a free case review to patients implanted with the metal-on-metal DePuy Pinnacle Acetabular Cup System. Reportedly, concerns have mounted over the Pinnacle hip since the August 2010 DePuy hip recall of the ASR devices, and the lawyers working with the website would like to hear from patients who have experienced hip implant failure, metal poisoning or other DePuy Pinnacle problems. To have your Pinnacle hip implant complaint reviewed at no cost to you, visit http://www.classaction.org/depuy-pinnacle-acetabular-cup-system.html and complete the short form on the right. 

When used with a metal liner, the DePuy Pinnacle hip may shed small metallic particles as its metal components wear. Although most patients will not react to these particles, others may develop metallosis, an inflammatory reaction to elevated metallic levels in the body. Metal poisoning can damage muscles and other soft tissues and may lead to DePuy Pinnacle failure, which could necessitate revision surgery. 

If you or a loved one has developed metal poisoning or other DePuy Pinnacle hip problems, you may have legal recourse. While a Pinnacle hip recall has not been issued, recipients of the metal-on-metal acetabular cup system may still be able to partake in a DePuy Pinnacle lawsuit. Visit Class Action.org to find out more about DePuy Pinnacle problems and to receive a no cost, no obligation review of your claim.
