Did DePuy Ignore Warnings That The ASR Hip System Was Defective?
According to media reports, authorities in Australia informed DePuy, Inc. and Johnson & Johnson at least 17 times that they had concerns regarding the safety of the ASR Hip Replacement System. In a recent press release, the director of the Australian National Joint Registry indicated that the organization had seen fit to warn DePuy on more than 17 separate occasions that there were problems with its ASR device, stretching back as far as 2007. This latest development will be of potential interest to individuals fitted with defective DePuy hip replacement devices and prompts the question, did DePuy knew its product was defective and, if so, why did it take more than three years for the company to issue a world-wide recall? Burg Simpson is currently at the forefront of litigation involving defective DePuy hip implants. The firm has filed a lawsuit in Colorado and a class action in Ohio and continues to evaluate claims from concerned individuals from across the nation.
