The US Drug Watchdog says, "When it comes to victims of a metal on metal hip implant the most important thing we have learned after two years is most victims want to keep their case with a highly regarded personal injury law firm that is actually based in their state, so we are inviting the best of the best personal injury law firms in each state to join us in our incredibly important initiative.

The US Drug Watchdog says, "We are inviting the best possible personal injury law firms in each state to join us in our efforts to get more victims of a metal on metal hip implant device failure identified, because while these cases might all be national MDL's the average victim wants a local, or instate law firm representing them." According to the New York Times on December 27th 2011, "500,000 US citizens are recipients of a all metal hip implant." The US Drug Watchdog is saying, "In most instances we want one, or possibly two participating law firms in each state, our initiative will involve state specific press releases, and we will work with participating firms on how to better get the message out in their state. We believe in win, wins, and we believe our approach will identify thousands of new victims of a failed metal on metal hip implant nationwide, and to achieve this we want the best possible personal injury law firms in each state to join us." For more information please call the US Drug Watchdog at 866-714-6466. http://USDrugWatchdog.Com

The US Drug Watchdog says, "The type of personal injury law firm we want involved in this initiative must be based in the state they wish to participate in, the firm must be very highly thought of by their peers, the firm must have superior intake, and case management capabilities. Our branding, and press releases will be subject to participating firm approval, the press releases will be state specific, professionally written, in compliance with any, or all state bar association requirements, and this is initiative does involve a fee to participate. Further, this is an aggressive national campaign, that is state specific, so a law firm in New Mexico, or Wyoming, will be treated no differently than participating firms in New York, California, Florida, Ohio, Texas, Massachusetts, or Washington state." http://USDrugWatchdog.Com

The US Drug Watchdog says, "One of the biggest problems we have with respect to our failed medical device or recalled drug initiative work is the average US consumer never hears about a drug recall or failures involving medical devices like all metal hip implants. This new initiative involving personal injury law firms in each state is designed to change this. For more information personal injury law firms that have some knowledge of medical device failures, and are highly regarded by their peers are encouraged to contact the US Drug Watchdog at 866-714-6466." http://USDrugWatchdog.com
