The US Drug Watchdog says, "We are urging all US metal on metal hip implant recipients to immediately get a blood test aimed at identifying cobalt, or chromium levels in their blood, and if the cobalt, or chromium levels are elevated please call us at 866-714-6466, so we can get you to the best possible law firm." http://USDrugWatchdog.Com

The US Drug Watchdog says, According to the New York Times, there are 500,000 US citizens with a all metal hip implant. The BBC is now reporting European health agencies are on the verge of requiring blood testing for all metal on metal hip implant recipients, and we have concluded the best way for a US recipient of a metal on metal hip implant to determine if their hip implant device has failed-is to have a blood test to see if their blood contains elevated levels of cobalt, or chromium. If the blood work reveals elevated levels of cobalt, or chromium in the metal on metal hip implant recipient's blood we want them to call us immediately, so we can direct them to the best possible law firms." US metal on metal hip implant recipients are encouraged to call the US Drug Watchdog anytime at 866-714-6466. http://USDrugWatchdog.com

The US Drug Watchdog says, “One of the biggest problems we have with respect to our failed medical device or recalled drug initiative work is the average US consumer never hears about a drug recall or failures involving medical devices like metal-on-metal hip implants. If you have a friend, or loved one who is a recipient of a metal-on metal hip implant please share this press release with them. We want to make certain these metal-on-metal hip implant failure victims get to the best possible attorneys, to ensure they get the best possible compensation for their ordeal.” For more information please call the US Drug Watchdog at 866-714-6466. http://USDrugWatchdog.com
