DePuy Hip Replacement Recall — Lawyers in Columbus

In August 2010, DePuy Orthopedics, a division of Johnson & Johnson, issued a global recall on two of the company's hip replacement systems — ASR Hip Resurfacing Systems and ASR XL Acetubular Systems. The DePuy hip replacement recall came after the defective medical device had been implanted in more than 93,000 patients, a significant number of which were requiring revision surgery to remove the defective device.

Columbus and Dayton, Ohio, Defective Medical Device Attorneys

Our attorneys have the experience, resources, and determination to take on pharmaceutical and medical device companies. We are prepared to pursue hip implant claims, involving:

• Hip implant devices that have become loose or dislocated
• DePuy implants that have caused medical particles to be shed into the patient's body, essentially poisoning the surrounding tissue
• Hip replacement devices that have required a second surgery to remove and replace the defective device

When profit is emphasized over the safety or care for consumers, defective and dangerous products are placed in the hands of consumers. Unfortunately, in the case of DePuy hip implants, the defective product was placed into thousands of patients due to the company's carelessness. In fact, it is suspected that the company was aware of the device's defects long before it issued a recall — resulting in many patients who underwent a hip replacement surgery that DePuy Orthopedics knew was destined to fail. Our personal injury law firm is dedicated to holding negligent parties accountable for the unnecessary suffering they cause.

If you or a loved one is dealing with the realities of a defective DePuy hip implant, you can count on our Columbus injury lawyers to stand up for your interests. We will vigorously pursue compensation for your ongoing pain, medical expenses associated with ongoing monitoring, medical expenses associated with a second hip replacement surgery/revision surgery, loss of enjoyment of life, and other damages.
