DePuy, a Johnson & Johnson company, has recalled its ASR Hip Resurfacing System and ASR XL Acetabular System after a 13% failure rate. Johnson & Johnson DePuy has placed 93,000 of the recalled model hip replacements, which means that approximately 12,000 of these units are likely to fail. The failed units will require replacement surgery.
DePuy released a statement saying it “intends to cover reasonable and customary costs of testing and treatment associated with the ASR recall, including revision surgery if it is necessary”. This statement is filled with corporate legal double-speak which promises nothing. If you are contacted by DePuy, you should sign nothing and send them nothing without first consulting an experienced attorney.
Even if you have no symptoms, you are entitled to compensation. Contact our office for a free consultation.
