A Stryker recall was issued in July 2012, when it was determined that the Stryker Rejuvenate and ABG II implant products pose an unreasonable risk of fretting, corroding and ultimately failing as the metal parts rub against each other. There are currently about 5,000 Stryker Rejuvenate and ABG II hip lawsuits filed in state and federal courts nationwide; before the recall was issued, approximately 20,000 Rejuvenate and ABG II implants were sold.

First Funding Disbursement of $1.4 Billion Settlement Anticipated for Late Summer or Early Fall 2015

"There is still some time before Stryker hip claimants will actually receive settlement funding," said Atlas Legal Funding Managing Partner, Jeff Kahn. "Early estimates state that the first payments from the settlement will happen sometime during late summer or early fall, 2015. And individuals that qualify for enhanced payments under the settlement agreement will not receive payment until the end of 2015 or early 2016."

This $1.4 billion settlement is expected to result in a base payment of $300,000 for individuals who received a Stryker Rejuvenate or ABG II implant and underwent revision surgery on or before November 2, 2014. Individuals who suffered catastrophic injuries will be able to pursue additional compensation under the settlement if they meet several eligibility requirements for "enhancements".
