Hip Replacement Recalls and Lawsuits

Hip implants manufactured between 2003 and 2010 by DePuy Orthopedics, Inc, a subdivision of Johnson & Johnson, have been found to be defective. DePuy sold over 40,000 implants in the U.S. during this time and at least 13% of these implants have failed. The defective hip implants can cause fractures, dislocation, infections and metal poisoning from metal debris being released into the tissue surrounding the hip and into the blood stream.

 

DePuy announced a recall in September 2010 of the following hip systems:

• DePuy ASR XL Acetabular System

• DePuy ASR Hip Resurfacing System

 

Side Effects

Patients who have received the recalled implants may be experiencing the following symptoms:

• Pain

• Swelling

• Difficulty walking

These symptoms are typical after hip surgery, however, if they continue, it may mean that the hip is defective and needs to be replaced.

If you or a loved one received a DePuy hip replacement system between 2003-2010, you may be entitled to compensation.
