Our lawyers are accepting new Exactech recall lawsuits for knee and ankle implants in all 50 states.  Below we discuss the litigation, provide the most recent April 2024 updates – including the latest Exactech recall – and what our lawyers believe the average per person Exactech settlement amounts will be.

Exactech Recall

The medical device company Exactech is one of the leading implant system manufacturers in joint replacement surgeries.

Exactech is a major manufacturer of implants used in total knee replacement and total ankle replacement surgeries. Over 150,000 people have Exactech implants in their knee or ankle. Exactech recently initiated a recall of all these implants due to a defect that causes the implants to wear out and fail prematurely.

In the wake of the Exactech recall and the class action lawsuit, thousands of patients with Exactech implants may file product liability lawsuits seeking financial compensation for the pain and expense associated with the premature failure of their joint implant.  These suits are being filed in the class action lawsuit in New York.  But there are also state court claims that are being filed, mostly in Florida.

In December 2022, Exactech’s defense team sent a letter to MDL Judge Garaufis last week explaining the status of their effort to get formal coordination between the federal MDL and the state court MDL in Florida. Exactech is pushing hard for the discovery in the state and federal proceedings to be combined to avoid doubling their defense costs. The plaintiffs in the Florida state court MDL have opposed this request.

Exactech Connexion GXL Recall

Our attorneys are handling claims for victims seeking to file an Exactech recall lawsuit in all 50 states.

Exactech is a major manufacturer of orthopedic implants used in joint replacement surgery. Exactech is now recalling all of its implants that were used in total ankle replacement procedures since 2016.

These implants are being recalled because a packaging defect has made them susceptible to premature failure causing patients to suffer severe pain and undergo corrective surgery.

Knee replacement and knee implant lawsuits allege that devices loosened or did not last as long as they should.  Zimmer faced over 15,000 Biomet lawsuits over its NexGen implant. DePuy Synthes Attune Knee implant lawsuits were also a big thing.  Now Exactech recall lawsuits will be getting filed in massive numbers in 2022 after a big recall.

There have been a lot of questions about hip and knee replacements in recent years. DePuy, Exactech, Stryker, and Zimmer have had – to put it mildly – concerns raised about their products. These companies would argue that the problems are mostly with patients who are having bad outcomes and blaming the insurance companies.
