Exactech Recall and Safety Alert
Exactech issued a recall and the FDA made public alerts regarding certain Exactech shoulder, knee and ankle replacement parts due to a problem with the packaging that failed to protect the polyethylene plastic inserts from oxygen exposure. This exposure may cause the inserts to degrade over time, potentially leading to the early failure of the implant. The recall specifically targeted the inserts and liner components from the Optetrak, Optetrak Logic, Truliant, and Vantage knee and ankle replacement systems. The FDA later made a public safety communication regarding the Equinoxe Shoulder System joint replacement device which also contained problematic packaging leading to early product failure.
Exactech Medical Device Injury
Certain patients with recalled Exactech shoulder, knee or ankle implants have experienced symptoms such as new or worsening swelling, pain, inability to bear weight, limitation of movement, grinding noises, instability or clicking. Some patients have had severe pain and discomfort which has caused those patients to undergo painful revision surgeries to remove the Exactech implant. If you have had an Exactech medical device revision surgery, contact the attorneys at Jacobson Injury Lawyers. A qualified product liability attorney will provide you with a free case consultation.
Exactech Implant
Patients are advised to monitor their implants closely and to check if their implant is part of the recall using Exactech’s online database with their device serial number. Some patients received letters from their healthcare provider informing them of the defective medical device. Many patients have not had negative consequences associated with their Exactech medical device. Jacobson Injury lawyers are not accepting clients who have product in place claims which is a claim based upon the possibility of a potential future injury. Continued vigilance and consultation with medical professionals is recommended.
The Exactech Lawsuit
The lawsuit against Exactech claims that the company engaged in misconduct with respect to the design, testing, manufacturing, packaging, storage, labeling, distribution, marketing and sale of certain Exactech products including the Optetrak, Optetrak Logic, Truliant, and Vantage knee and ankle replacement systems. According to filed pleadings, Exactech made false representations to doctors and the public regarding the quality and reliability of their products. Exactech is alleged to have known that its products were failing at a much higher rate than other products in the market but failed to warn leading to unnecessary injuries. The lawsuits claim that products were allegedly failing because the company’s manufacturing techniques caused oxygenation of the polyethylene liners leading to product degradation. Given that the defect causing the harm is readily apparent and that Exactech has already admitted to the defect, Jacobson Injury Lawyers anticipates that plaintiffs in the Exactech lawsuit will receive compensation for their injuries.
