Guest guest Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 Recently I've seen an ad that says something to the effect that " thousands of defective knee replacements have already been recalled. You may qualify for a settlement. " Those aren't the exact words, but that's the jist. No brand names, like with the recall of the DePuy (?)hip replacements; and a blind 800 number to call. Anyone know what these are all about? I personally think it's a scare tactic/scam. If there were " thousands of defective knee replacements " , were they in the news & just missed them?? F.

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 I recently heard about a Zimmer knee that was being recalled? I am forwarding an email I found. They want to start a Central Joint replacement directory so they can follow joints and find out sooner what is happening. I will send out that email as soon as it gets to me. I forwarded it to myself. Am waiting for it to come through. Donna R Have you heard the TV attorney's ads about failed knee replacements?

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 I think you're right. I haven't heard of a major recall of knees. Sounds like a solicitor touting for business. Sad eh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
