The federal judicial panel on multidistrict litigation issued an order consolidating cases against Wright Medical involving alleged defects of its CONSERVE® line of hip implant products. Most of the claims in the five consolidated actions focus on the metal-on-metal design of the CONSERVE® products and the alleged propensity of the devices to generate high levels of metal debris, cause metallosis, and/or fail early. The specific devices at issue include Wright's CONSERVE® Total Implant System, CONSERVE® Total A-Class Advanced Metal Hip Implant System, and CONSERVE ® Resurfacing System. The cases will be heard in the Northern District of Georgia by federal district court judge Hon. William S. Duffey, Jr.
