Strkyer Corporation has filed a lawsuit against the federal government and HHS over a subpoena they received concerning their marketing practices. The lawsuit contends that Stryker should not have to comply with the subpoena because they had negotiated a settlement with the government regarding medical device company kickbacks whereby the company would pay doctors to use their knee and hip implant devices.
Stryker Corporation has been sued for the faulty design of its Trident PSL and Trident Hemispherical Acetabular Cups used in hip replacement surgery. These devices have been recalled by the company.
