If you filed a claim for the Stryker class action settlement, keep an eye on your mailbox because checks are on their way!

The class action settlement resolves allegations that Stryker or Howmedica sent unsolicited fax advertisements without a proper “opt-out” notice within the fax itself.

Class Members of the Howmedica class action settlement included: “All persons who (1) on or after four years prior to the filing of this action, (2) were subscribers of a fax number that received, (3) a fax invitation to attend a presentation for primary care physicians on advancements in orthopedics, arthritis, joint replacement, or joint treatment options, (4) received from one or more of Defendants, and (5) that did not display a proper opt-out notice.”

Stryker denied the allegations but agreed to pay $6.85 million to settle the claims and avoid the cost of further litigation.

The deadline to file a claim for the Stryker class action settlement passed on Jan. 15, 2016.
