Illinois Defective Product Claims: DePuy ASR Hip Replacements (Part B)

Signs of a Defective Hip Replacement System

Signs that you have received a defective hip replacement system include chronic pain, swelling and difficulty walking.

These symptoms indicate the following may have happened:

• implant doesn't stay properly attached;
• components are no longer aligned; or
• bone fractures around the implant occurred.

If you have suffered injuries from your defective hip replacement system, you may be eligible to recover damages through an Illinois defective product claim.

Recall of DePuy ASR Hip Replacement System

Despite complaints received by the FDA over the past few years, Johnson & Johnson failed to take adequate measures to discontinue the selling of the DePuy ASR Hip Replacement System. The recall of this defective hip replacement system may have come too late for hundreds or even thousands of patients.

In 2007 the FDA received almost 100 adverse event reports. In 2008 there were more than 200 of these reports and in 2009 there were more than 300. In 2009 more than 90% of the reports involved patients having to undergo additional surgery to correct their defective hip replacement systems.
