Case Name
In re: Stryker Rejuvenate and ABG II Hip Implant Products Liability Litigation,MDL No. 13-2441District Court for the District of Minnesota
Case Summary
In 2014, Stryker Orthopaedics’ counsel and attorneys representing patients affected by Stryker’s voluntary recall of its ABG II Modular Neck Hip Stem and Rejuvenate Modular Neck Hip Stem in June 2012 due to potential risks associated with these products reached a settlement for patients who were revised at the time that the Settlement Program was announced. More recently, the scope of that 2014 Agreement has expanded to include patients who underwent a revision surgery prior to December 19, 2016. This Settlement is a means to resolve eligible patients’ claims in a fair, timely, and efficient manner, regardless of whether they filed a lawsuit. Patients do not need to be represented by an attorney in order to participate in the 2016 Settlement Program.
