DEPUY ASR AND JOHNSHON AND JOHNSON HIP IMPLANT AND REPLACEMENT LITIGATION

In 2010 Johnson & Johnson, the parent of the DePuy ASR Hip Implant, announced a recall of the defective hip implant system. The recall has now produced approximately 3500 lawsuits to date with many more expected to come in the upcoming months and years. The lawsuits generally claim that the product caused the following to the plaintiffs: “pain, swelling inflammation, infection and damage to surrounding bone and tissue”. Some victims also claim to have been poisoned by the device.

Bloomberg is reporting that over 37,000 DePuy Hip Implants were sold in the U.S. and experts expect that 12-13% will fail within the first 5 years. However, healthcare experts are now saying that the device could have up to a 50% failure rate within the first 6 years. Johnson & Johnson announced in January 2010 that they had set aside $912Mil to settle impending DePuy lawsuits. Lawsuit Funding Industry experts believe that the wave of lawsuits sure to come out in years to come could make this number go up substantially.

Based on the previous Sulzer Hip recall of 2000, the average settlement range of people with the most serious injuries yielded over $200,000. Many Legal experts are predicting that the settlement values for some of the DePuy victims could increase to over $500,000 each. If this occurs, and the lawsuits continue to mount, then Johnson and Johnson exposure could reach the several Billion dollar range. And DePuy could challenge Vioxx and Avandia as one of the largest “class action” litigations in U.S. history.
