More than 40 Stryker Rejuvenate hip recall lawsuits have been ordered by the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPMDL) to be transferred to the U.S. District Court of Minnesota in order to facilitate the discovery process of these cases and preserve the courtâs resources. The transfer of these cases that are part of Stryker Rejuvenate hip MDL 2441 was officially mandated by a Transfer Order dated June 12, 2013 and specifically applies to Stryker Rejuvenate hip recall lawsuits related to complaints regarding the Rejuvenate and the ABG II Hip Stem. These Stryker Rejuvenate hip lawsuits, as well as all future Stryker Rejuvenate hip lawsuits related to Strykerâs Rejuvenate and ABG II Hip Stem, will be under the jurisdiction of Judge Donavan W. Frank in the Minnesota Federal Court (In Re: Stryker Rejuvenate and ABG II Hip Implant Products Liability Litigation, MDL No. 2441).

The recent consolidation of the Rejuvenate and ABG II Hip Stem Stryker lawsuits is the second MDL action taken in Stryker complaints thus far in 2013. In January, the New Jersey Supreme Court ordered that all such cases filed in the state be consolidated in MultiCounty Litigation under the jurisdiction of Judge Brian Martinotti in the Bergen County Superior Court. Mediation for these cases is currently underway in New Jersey (In re Stryker Rejuvenate Hip Stem and the ABG II Modular Hip Stem Litigation, No. 296).
