Lawsuits against Synovo Productions, Inc. are on the rise following the FDA's warnings regarding significant unauthorized modifications to their Total Hip System device since 2019. These legal actions target issues such as persistent pain, device malfunctions, and the need for invasive revision surgeries. Individuals who underwent surgery for a Synovo Total Hip System replacement and encountered complications or necessitated revision surgery may qualify for compensation.
Who Could Be Eligible For A Lawsuit?
You may be eligible to file a lawsuit if you or your loved one received a Synovo hip replacement and required revision surgery or experienced pain or other side effects. These lawsuits hinge on allegations of product defect, failure to warn, and negligence in the manufacturing process.
Eligibility to join typically hinges on the following factors:
- Medical Complications: You may be eligible if you've suffered from severe side effects after the specific model or version of the Synovo Total Hip System was implanted in your body, such as metallosis (metal poisoning), device failure, or necessary revision surgery.
- Timing of the Procedure: Your eligibility could depend on when you received your hip implant. Cutoff dates may depend on when the product was recalled or known to be faulty.
- Evidence of Manufacturer Negligence: Prove that Synovo failed to warn about potential risks or breached its duty of care through negligence or misconduct.
- Statute of Limitations: Legal action must be taken within a specific timeframe after injury or diagnosis, which varies by state.
- Documentation: You must possess appropriate medical records, surgical reports, and any documentation depicting the pain and suffering caused by the implant.
