There are court proceedings that do not end in favorable decisions. In order to safeguard your security, you need to do quick actions. The people affected of the DePuy hip replacement recall are the perfect example.
Severe damage awaits people who receive defective hip replacement devices form DePuy if they refuse to act quickly. In order to avoid that, affected patients need to seek medical attention as soon as possible. This can also help lessen damages. There is no additional compensation for putting off necessary treatment.
Last August, DePuy Orthopedics, a subsidiary company of Johnson & Johnson, recalled two hip replacement units - the ASR Hip Resurfacing System and the ASR XL Acetabular System. The recall was due to the hip replacement devices' flawed design. Furthermore, long time wearing of these units can cause tissue damage and inflammation. There are around 93,000 individuals who are implanted with an ASR device. I find this situation very alarming.
I have observed that Depuys' history shows that they do not take responsibility on products they made. They waited for hundreds of people to complain about their product before taking appropriate actions. Clearly, Depuy puts their personal gains on top of their patients' welfare. DePuy do not take into account the effect their products have on the affected patients.
If you happen to be one of the patients of these recalled hip replacement products, there is something you need to do. I suggest you to consult a doctor. And document your pain and suffering as well as your treatment as detailed as possible. It is important that you remember these things. These are the best ways to let DePuy pay for the damage they have ensued. The responsibility that does not solely lie on DePuy. As a patient, you have certain responsibilities to carry out as well.
Do you want DePuy to get away from their responsibilities? You should have the heart. Do not let DePuy affect more people. Hold DePuy accountable.
