Many hip replacement patients who received artificial hips and parts manufactured by DePuy, a division of Johnson and Johnson, have had additional pain and required revisionist surgery.

DePuy has issued a recall that will affect thousands of hip replacement surgery patients. DePuy ASR hip replacement systems have had an unusually high failure rate, requiring recipients of this implant to undergo many painful surgeries to replace the defective device.
DePuy Recall Attorney Tips:
DePuy ASR HIP Recalled

* If you have a defective DePuy hip replacement implant removed, you will need to keep the device as evidence for your future lawsuit.
* Let your doctor and hospital know, in writing, that the removed device is to be kept for you.
* Do not allow any non-essential personnel to be present at the removal surgery.
* Do not allow a DePuy representative to photograph or video any surgeries or medical treatment you may require without the advice of an attorney.
