Mississippi DePuy Hip Recall Lawsuit Information

Prior to this DePuy hip recall, there had been a number of lawsuits filed against the company over the ASR line. Those lawsuits have alleged that DePuy Orthopaedics, Inc. manufactured a defective product, failed to warn patients and doctors of problems with the implant and negligence in designing, manufacturing and selling the product.

Lawsuits filed as a result of the DePuy hip recall will occur for a variety of reasons, depending upon what you are experiencing. All DePuy hip recall lawsuits will include all medical costs, whether they are for replacing the hip implant system or just the additional tests and monitoring that may be required. There will be cases where people are not required to have another hip replacement surgery but may have to subject themselves to endless monitoring, testing and uncertainty that their hip replacement system may fail at any other time. Other cases will be more severe and could include serious and ongoing pain, dislocations and other problems with the DePuy ASR Hip Replacement System. And there will be cases where the recalled DePuy hip has already failed or is performing so poorly that you elect to have the hip implant replaced as soon as possible. There are certain questions that most DePuy hip recall lawsuits will have in common and seek to answer, such as the company's internal documentation about problems with the ASR line of hip replacement systems. Were there concerns about the metal-on-metal bearings even before the hip implants were manufactured?

DePuy Orthopaedics, Inc. is a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, Inc. with $5.4 billion in sales last year. The DePuy hip recall lawsuits are not the only problems Johnson & Johnson is experiencing. Recently the company has also recalled children's Tylenol and Accuvue contact lenses in Asia. The FDA also recently sent DePuy a warning letter stating that the company had illegally marketed a knee replacement device and sold a hip replacement system for an unapproved use. This has led a number of experts that study the industries in which Johnson & Johnson is involved to question whether there is a systemic problem within the company. Johnson & Johnson has annual revenues of more than $65 billion.
