DePuy® Hip Implant Lawyer & Lawsuit

Did you know that over 90,000 patients worldwide have been informed that their DePuy replacement hip implants are defective and dangerous? Device components have reportedly come loose, fractured bones, deposited metal fragments in tissues and bloodstream, and led to a number of painful revision surgeries. If you have suffered a serious side effect from a DePuy Hip Replacement, you may have a lawsuit and be entitled to compensation for your injury.

2010 DePuy Hip Worldwide Recall

In August 2010, DePuy issued a worldwide recall of its ASR XL Acetabular System and the ASR Hip Resurfacing System. The motion to recall came after hundreds of complaints were filed over defective devices since 2008. To date, numerous lawsuits have been filed and many more are expected.

Who’s to blame?

Many believe DePuy rushed their product to market without sufficient testing. In fact, the company told the FDA that their device was so similar to another approved product already on the market that the Administration approved the device without actually testing it. Considering that the DePuy hip is failing at a much higher rate than the product to which it was supposedly nearly identical to, we believe DePuy misrepresented their product to the FDA and the unsuspecting public.
