The US Drug Watchdog says, "We are now urging all US citizens who are metal on metal hip implant recipients who have had a revision surgery, because their all metal failed to call us for the names, and contacts of the best law firms to help you." A metal on metal hip implant recipient, who already had a surgery to remove their hip implant device, or a recipient with elevated levels of cobalt, or chromium in their blood are urged to call the US Drug Watchdog anytime at 866-714-646. http://USDrugWatchdog.com

The US Drug Watchdog is focused on helping all victims of a metal on metal hip implant premature failure. The group is offering to help any all metal hip implant recipient get to the best possible attorneys, if they have already had their all metal hip implant replaced, or if the recipient now has elevated levels of cobalt, or chromium in their blood. The group believes the best indicator for a metal on metal hip implant failure are elevated levels of cobalt, and or chromium in the hip implant recipients blood. The US Drug Watchdog wants to hear from any metal-on metal hip implant recipient if their hip implant has already failed, or if they are concerned about a premature failure, and the group will provide a metal on metal hip implant recipient with the names, and contacts of who they consider to be the best national caliber law firms to help them. Recipients of a metal on metal hip implant are encouraged to contact the US Drug Watchdog anytime at 866-714-6466. http://USDrugWatchdog.com
The US Drug Watchdog saying, "What really has us worried now is we are not hearing from enough all metal hip implant recipients that are older than 60. We have targeted states like California, New York, Florida, Texas, Nevada, Arizona, Washington, Illinois, and Ohio where we know we have older recipients of a metal on metal hip implant, and we are not hearing from them? We appreciate no one wants to go through a hip replacement surgery, also known as a revision surgery, but our big worry is metals poisoning, or what elevated levels of cobalt, or chromium will do to someone's health. We are urging family members, or loved ones of hip implant recipients of a all metal hip device to help us get the word out. These people need a blood test." http://USDrugWatchdog.Com
