More Generic Zantac Recalls Over Possible ...

Recalls of generic Zantac believed to be contaminated by a carcinogen continue to flood in. Two other firms have declared recalls of ranitidine heartburn meds in 150 mg and 300 mg doses. The news arrived even as the degree of the drug returns increased with Mylan’s impromptu recall of three lots of nizatidine capsules last week because the API in them also held dangerous levels of NDMA.

Stryker Hip Implant Failures

The Stryker Tritanium Acetabular Shell, which restores the human hip socket, is built from a titanium alloy covered with a unique kind of porous foam. The foam enables bone cells to bind with it and grow, thereby increasing joint stability. However, a 2018 report in the journal Arthroplasty Today by doctors at NYU Langone Orthopedic Hospitals described five hip implant failures related to Stryker’s Tritanium cups between 2011 and 2016.

Your Hip Implant Can Kill You

Your Hip Implant Can Kill You

While obviously a hip replacement can’t “kill” the way a heart-attack can, a defective device can set off a sequence of events and conditions that can lead to serious harm or even death. And it happens far more often than we think, particularly because the manufacturers of these devices do not want anyone to know how often it happens.
