The DePuy hip recall of the ASR hip implant was announced by DePuy Orthopedics Inc. on August 26, 2010. The hip recall by DePuy of its ASR hip implant comes after the device was marketed for approximately six years between 2003 and 2010. The defective ASR hip system has been implanted in a total of about 93, 000 patients. This hip recall affects two products by DePuy namely, the ASR Hip Resurfacing System and the ASR XL Acetabular System. This DePuy hip recall comes after years of published reports, studies and data indicating that the device was defective and failing in patients.
Some persons with DePuy hip implants, including those in Tennessee, Arkansas and Mississippi, have expressed interest in filing a DePuy hip implant lawsuit. Bloomberg News (12/3, Voreacos, Feeley) reported, “All pretrial proceedings in federal lawsuits against Johnson & Johnson over recalled devices used in hip-replacement surgery will be overseen by a federal judge in Ohio, a judicial panel decided.” The Ohio judge “will supervise evidence-gathering efforts in cases over the ASR XL Acetabular System, which J&J’s DePuy Orthopedics unit recalled on Aug. 26 after the implants stopped functioning properly.” J&J and DePuy said “they recalled the devices after researchers found many patients needed ‘revision surgery’ after five years because of design defects.”
