Biomet Hip Implant Class Action – Claims Process Now Open
The Biomet Hip Implant class action relates to metal-on-metal hip implant systems manufactured and distributed by Biomet. These include the M2a 38, M2a Magnum, and ReCap Femoral Resurfacing System, or any combination thereof (collectively, the “Biomet Devices”).
A class action has been certified in Ontario (Dine v. Biomet et al) and was filed in Quebec (Conseil pour la protection des malades c. Biomet Canada inc.). The class includes all persons who were implanted with Biomet Devices in Canada, as well as their estates and certain family members.
Following a court hearing on October 25, 2024, a final settlement agreement has now been approved. While the defendants do not admit liability, the settlement provides compensation for class members who experienced qualifying injuries. Compensation will be determined based on the terms of the settlement and is subject to the submission and review of supporting documentation.
