Manufacturer DePuy has admitted an error in what they refer
to as their “measuring techniques” when designing metal hip replacement
implants. This is no small admission in
that DePuy is one of the world’s largest hip implant placement manufacturers.
These implants occurred from August 2005 through August 2010.
The bosses at DePuy have had to answer some tough
questions. They have already paid out settlements
estimated at over $2.5 billion. In a
2013 settlement, Johnson and Johnson provided an award of $250,000 to those who
were more than 6 months removed from their original hip replacement surgery.
Has anyone that you know been effected by a DePuy hip
replacement that has become defective?
You may be entitled to a settlement.
Even if you have not had any significant problems with your DePuy system
as yet, you need to consult an attorney to discuss your options. Alden B. Cole
is a Wilmington North Carolina DePuy Hip replacement attorney. Give him a call
at his office today at (910) 231-2042.
