Bloomberg News provides an update on the legal case related
to Johnson & Johnson’s Pinnacle hip implants, noting a lawyer told jurors
that the company’s “bid to convince doctors the metal-on-metal version of its
Pinnacle hip implants were safe amounted to ‘marketing run amok.’” Mark Lanier,
a lawyer for a Montana woman who filed the lawsuit after complications, noted
J&J’s DePuy “unit ignored signs the Pinnacle hips suffered from design
flaws and assured doctors the metal devices worked ‘99.9 percent of the time.’”
The lawsuit claims the metal hips by J&J, “leeched cobalt and chromium
material into her bloodstream, causing an infection that required the devices
to be surgically removed.”
