DePuy Orthopedics, a division of Johnson and Johnson, has issued a WORLDWIDE RECALL of its “metal-on-metal” ASR XL Acetabular System for Total Hip Replacement. DePuy issued this recall after data revealed that this device failed in a number of patients. Over time, these “metal-on-metal” hip implants can shed particles into the patient causing serious, painful reactions, often leading to additional hip replacement surgery.
If you, a family member or friend have had a hip replaced with this device and have experienced any unusual side effects, contact your doctor’s office or hospital about your injury. In order to determine whether you have a right to compensation for your injuries, please contact the knowledgeable Philadelphia products liability lawyers at Galfand Berger, LLP at 1-800-222-8792 for a free, no-obligation consultation.
