Lawsuit Filed Against Stryker in Pitsburgh, Pennsylvania
In August 2008, a medical supply company in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania filed a lawsuit against six medical device companies. The defendants included Stryker Orthopedics and Stryker Inc., which manufactures Trident hip replacement components. The Trident products were recalled in January 2008.
The lawsuit alleges that from 1988 to 2007, the defendants provided several southwestern Pennsylvania doctors and hospitals with kickbacks and other illegal payments, which prevented the Pittsburgh company from remaining competitive.
A spokesperson for the U.S. attorney's office in New Jersey commenting on the lawsuit stated that while an investigation is continuing, the majority of doctors who received payments from the defendants did so as part of either consulting agreements, or in the case of some doctors who worked with the companies in intellectual property and design improvements, were paid as part of royalty agreements.
