A class action lawsuit was filed against Exactech, a global medical device company, alleging that some of their medical devices are unsafe to insert in patients. The company has recalled all medical devices from various departments. They include Exactech’s Optetrak Comprehensive Knee System, the Truliant Total Knee Replacement System, and the Connexion GXL Acetabular Liner. Exactech discovered that many medical devices prematurely failed due to a packaging defect. Consequently, it led to a series of problems for the plaintiffs’ including various revision surgeries and many side effects. The effects include tissue damage, permanent bone loss, and many more. This massive case has affected 100,000 individuals and will continue to do so if companies are not held accountable.
