DePuy Recall Carlsbad, CA	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #1 Apr 1, 2011 The percentages are up higher than that, according to a report released last month the expectation is that at 6 years the percentage of systems that fail will be over 40% http://www.depuyhipimplantrecall.org/
Madeleine Ridgewood Chicago, IL	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #2 Apr 5, 2011 Actually DePuy Recall, the percentage reported recently is a 49% failure rate within 6 years. This information does not bode well for DePuy's Pinnacle system. Although a recall of the Pinnacle system has not yet been implemented, the FDA has already received complaints against this metal-on-metal device. This could eventually lead to numerous lawsuits. Updated information can be found at http://www.depuypinnaclelawsuit.com
Sarah B Chicago, IL	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #3 Jul 6, 2011 Those who received the flawed ASR hip replacement are in danger of toxic metal poisoning because of the metal ions that flake off as a result of the device's components rubbing on each other. Recipients who find themselves severely affected by the DePuy hip recall should discuss their legal options with a competent legal representative. http://www.hiprecalllaw.com
Kian Chicago, IL	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #10 Nov 18, 2011 Lawsuits will continue to rise with regards to the defective DePuy ASR hip implants. This because I came across this website http://www.depuyhipreplacementlawsuit.com which stated that 93,000 people worldwide have used the implant and medical studies said that one in every eight of those patients will have their implant failing just five years after they started using the device.
Mars New York, NY	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #11 Dec 9, 2011 Lawsuits are probably nothing new anymore to the DePuy Orthopaedics Inc. with court documents showing that nearly 20 are filed every day in connection to the manufacturer's recalled ASR hip systems. I learned from http://www.rotlaw.com/depuy-asr/ that more and more affected patients are seeking the help of a lawyer so they would get fully compensated for all the sufferings and financial trouble they experienced as a result of the defective implants.
AliciaJones Goldsmith, IN	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #12 Feb 10, 2012 Lawsuits on defective devices have grown recently. Most of them are due to the inaccurate approval system known as 510(k) process. U.S. regulators are still looking on the possibility for this review system to be enhanced. In the meantime, different lawsuits like the one related to vaginal mesh are currently on the rise. http://www.vaginalmeshlawsuit.com/
