Defective hip replacement cups

I’ve heard that the Zimmer company has manufactured some defective Durom hip replacement cups that are causing some of the recipients of the cup troubles.  Because of these issues on zimmer durom cup, the Zimmer legal department is contacting recipients of the cup and asking the patients to sign a release of liability agreement.  There are many durom lawsuits going on right now over the defective cup, and the durom lawyers are advising anyone who receives such a request from Zimmer to NOT sign the release.

They say that signing the release would prevent you from having any recourse should the cup fail in the future.  You might also be opening yourself up to being sued by Medicare or your health insurance.  So, folks out there in the audience who might be reading this should take note of this – if you have one of these cups, do NOT sign the release!
