Noto claimed in the suit, filed in Tampa in 2017, that Zimmer neglected to warn orthopedic surgeons about the potential risks with the M/L Taper Hip Prosthesis with Kinectiv Technology, such as corrosion, metal wear debris and other byproduct releases that cause cell injury and other swelling and adverse tissue reactions. After less than an hour of deliberation, the jury found that Zimmer's Kinectiv dual modular hip device was not defective and did not cause Noto's injuries.
The Faegre BD team representing Zimmer was led by Mike Kanute, and also consisted of Tarifa Laddon, Ruben Gonzalez, Jori Loren and Tess Godhardt.
