Metal-on-metal hip lawsuits allege that manufacturers sold defective hip implants using cobalt-chromium alloy bearing surfaces. These designs release metal particles that cause serious health problems.
Metal debris accumulates in surrounding tissue and bloodstream, causing metallosis, pseudotumors, bone damage, and systemic cobalt poisoning affecting the heart, brain, and other organs.
Over $10 billion has been paid in settlements across multiple manufacturers including DePuy, Stryker, Zimmer, and others. Failure rates for some MoM designs exceeded 15%.
