DePuy Orthopedics, Inc., a unit of the Johnson and Johnson Company, began to make available its ASR XL Acetabular Hip System and DePuy ASR Hip Resurfacing System beginning in 2003. These products are commonly referred to as the DePuy ASR Hip or the DePuy ASR Hip System. The Johnson and Johnson hip replacement lawsuits have affected an estimated 100,000 individuals and also have been deemed as degrading to their health. Our law firm is currently accepting clients for this DePuy recall litigation. These hip replacement lawsuit actions are because the systems have not only shown to exhibit high rates of failure, but the metal-on-metal design has made some patients ill and forced them to experience various debilitating symptoms due to extremely high levels of chromium and/or cobalt in their blood stream. Some patients have been found to have levels of the metals in their bodies that are 100 times the normal amount. This metal poisoning is called metallosis and can cause problems in the nervous, respiratory and reproductive systems. The metal on metal design causes the deterioration of the prosthetic hip part leading to small metal fragments or shards breaking off and getting into the person's blood stream. While an elevated level of chromium and cobalt is normal in hip replacement lawsuit patients, some patients' lead metal level has created metallosis or metal blood poisoning. A blood test can determine if these levels have risen high enough for you to be diagnosed with metallosis.

The DePuy Recall Has Many Patients Contacting Attorneys About A Hip Replacement Lawsuit
[Posted on Dec 19]
When DePuy Orthopedics announced in August 2010 that they were issuing a hip replacement recall, it caused great concern among patients that had had this procedure done in the recent past. DePuy specifically cited a design flaw in their ASR Hip Resurfacing System and ASR XL Acetabular Hip System that was causing serious hip replacement problems in tens of thousands of individuals. The main issue revolves around the metal-on-metal style of the hip implant and how it leads to metal shards breaking off and finding their way into the patient’s blood stream.
Patients were told that there would be some degree of metal debris caused by their hip replacement but the specific design of the DePuy ASR Hip System has caused a much higher amount than was expected. These elevated levels have caused serious health problems, including metal poisoning, in some patients and they often need to undergo revision surgery. These individuals suffer from a tremendous amount of pain and must also deal with the stress of additional hip surgeries. As a result, many of these patients have moved forward with a hip replacement lawsuit against DePuy and their parent company, Johnson and Johnson, Inc.
Those who have filed a hip replacement lawsuit and won have been able to prove that DePuy was negligent because they didn’t do the proper testing on the ASR Hip System. Many believe that had they been more diligent they would have discovered these issues and the DePuy recall would be unnecessary. People that have been successful with their DePuy lawsuit have been awarded financial compensation which they are able to put towards their unexpected medical costs and other expenses they’ve incurred as a result of their hip replacement problems. If you’re considering a hip replacement lawsuit against DePuy, you need a lawyer who can advise you of your legal rights and options.
The Law Offices of Chandler, Mathis, & Zivley, PC, have stepped forward to take on Johnson and Johnson, Inc. Lawyers from this firm have proven for decades they aren’t intimidated by large corporations and that they’re willing to do what it takes to ensure clients get the justice they deserve. When you contact Chandler, Mathis and Zivley regarding a hip replacement lawsuit, an attorney will assess your situation and help you decide if moving forward with legal action is warranted. If you decide to take that step, you’ll have an experienced hip replacement lawyer working on your behalf to build the strongest case possible.
