Stryker Hip Lawsuit Attorneys at Bernstein Liebhard LLP Evaluating Claims on Behalf of Individuals Who Allegedly Suffered Serious Complications Associated with Certain Stryker LFIT Anatomic CoCr V40 Femoral Heads

NEW YORK, Oct. 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The Stryker hip lawsuit (http://www.rxinjuryhelp.com/stryker-hip-implant-lfit-v40-femoral-head-recall/) attorneys at Bernstein Liebhard LLP are now evaluating potential legal claims on behalf of individuals who have allegedly suffered serious complications related to certain LFIT Anatomic CoCr V40 Femoral Heads manufactured by Stryker Orthopaedics. On September 27^th, the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration, in consultation with Stryker, issued a Hazard Alert for certain LFIT Anatomic CoCr V40 Femoral Heads manufactured after 2011, following an unusual number of complaints involving taper lock failure. Failure of the taper lock, which connects the femoral head to the femoral neck, can result in serious complications, including failure of the artificial hip and need for revision surgery.

"The potential complications that could result from the affected Stryker femoral heads are severe. Recipients of these devices may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost wages and other related damages if they experienced any issues as described in the Australian alert," says Sandy A. Liebhard, a partner at Bernstein Liebhard LLP, a nationwide law firm representing victims of defective drugs and medical devices. The Firm is now offering free, no-obligation legal reviews to individuals who may have been harmed by Stryker's LFIT Anatomic CoCr V40 Femoral Heads.
