Johnson & Johnson agreed to pay about $1 billion to resolve most lawsuits claiming it sold defective metal-on-metal hips that ultimately had to be removed, according to people with knowledge of the matter.
. J&J faces a May trial in Oklahoma over that state’s allegations that the company helped fuel a surge of overdoses there.
Mark Lanier, one of the plaintiffs’ lawyers leading the litigation, originally announced the latest settlement deal in February, as J&J prepared to face claims in federal court in Dallas by five Pinnacle hip patients who blamed the devices for their injuries, including metal poisoning. At the time, Lanier declined to reveal the settlements’ financial details.
In an earlier settlement, J&J agreed to pay more than $400 million to resolve 20 law firms’ inventories of Pinnacle cases, people familiar with that deal said at the time. That may have resolved more than 3,000 cases, they said. Those are among the 6,000 cases in which surgeons extracted the implants because of defects.
