Hip Replacement Recalls in the Past


The recent rise in hip replacements that had to be recalled from the market is the cause which has prompted the Rottenstein Law Group to provide custom fitted legal representation to the affected individuals. The need for a hip replacement lawyer has never been greater, with thousands of victims in all the states around the country seeking justice for what has befallen them. If your hip implant was involved in a recent product recall, these attorneys can get you your much needed compensation for the defective implants you have availed from these companies.

The defects in the Zimmer Durom Artificial Hip have caused distress to over 10,000 people in America alone. The main product flaw was that it would come loose over time, causing pain and prompting surgical reworking of the implant. The Trident PSL and Hemispherical Acetabular Cups made by Stryker Co. is said to cause bone fractures and severe pain to the wearer. After being prompted by the FDA for not correctly addressing consumer grievances, they recalled their product from the market in 2008. 

In August of 2010, the DePuy Orthopaedics division of Johnson & Johnson has issued a recall for two of their ASR hip replacement products. The affected demographic is in the range of 93,000 recipients. If you or someone you know is one of the 93,000 then it is advised that you get in touch with your doctor immediately to assess whether the implant is properly working.
