DePuy Hip Replacement Claim
DePuy ASR Defective Hip Implant Recall - Call 866.840.3636
If you have a DePuy ASR hip implant, chances are that you have complaints about this defective product. Johnson & Johnson is the parent company of DePuy Orthopaedics, which designs and manufactures the DePuy ASR hip implant. DuPuy has finally recalled their hip implants after hundreds and hundreds of complaints that the implant has failed. Defective DePuy ASR hip implants are causing victims to undergo a second, more painful surgery to remove the recalled implant. These second surgeries require even more rehabilitation that the first surgery, and as any hip replacement candidate will tell you, the second and third surgeries have a dramatically reduced rate of success.
Reports indicate that as early as 2007, orthopedic surgeons told DePuy that its hip implants are defective and failing at an alarmingly high rate compared to other manufacturers. However, until September 2010 DePuy continued to blame its hip implant failure on surgeon or user error. The acetabular cup component of the DePuy hip implant is believed to be the failure point. If you are one of the 90,000 patients who have the DePuy ASR hip implant, be aware that DePuy reports that
13% of these units are defective! Patients may be entitled to compensation by filing a DePuy Hip Replacement Claim against Johnson & Johnson.
If you are one of the 12,000 DePuy hip replacement patients that will have to undergo a painful second surgery to remove the defective implant, our DePuy hip implant recall lawyers may be able to obtain compensation for you in the following forms:
- Cost of future surgery to remove defective DePuy hip implant
- Cost of rehabilitation following second surgery
- Cost of the new hip replacement
- Past and future lost wages
- Loss of earning capacity if range of motion deteriorates following second surgery
- Past and future pain & suffering
- Emotional trauma
- Alienation from family / Loss of consortium
