The lawsuit filed by Margo Polett claimed that she re-injured her knees while making a Zimmer promotional video, after a double knee replacement procedure in 2006 using the company’s Gender Solutions device.
A Pennsylvania state appeals court last week upheld a lower court’s award of nearly $16 million in damages against Zimmer Biomet in a knee implant lawsuit.
The lawsuit filed by Margo Polett claimed that she re-injured her knees while making a Zimmer promotional video, after a double knee replacement procedure in 2006 using the company’s Gender Solutions device. Polett alleged that activities she engaged in for the video, including riding a bicycle and running on a treadmill, resulted in new damage to her knees.
