DePuy Hip Replacement Problems
Johnson and Johnson, the parent company of DePuy Orthopaedics which is the manufacturer of the DePuy ASR hip implant issued a worldwide recall of two hip replacement devices. The medical devices that are in question are the ASR XL Acetabular System and the ASR Hip Resurfacing System. Johnson and Johnson instigated the recall after it was determined that the failure rate in these 2 devices is nearly 15% in the first two years, and almost half only six years after insertion. Symptoms of ASR hip implant failure include:- Dislodging or dislocation of the device, rendering it completely useless
- Small pieces of toxic metal flushing into the patient’s bloodstream, which causes a harmful tissue reaction called asceptic lymphocyte-dominated vasculitis associated lesion (ALVAL)
- Breakage of the bone surrounding the implant
- Metal on Metal Abrasion resulting in Metallosis and Cobalt Toxicity

Johnson and Johnson’s recall of the hip replacement device on August 26, 2010 was the culmination of several events which led the company to acknowledge that it had distributed a defective medical device. Below is a timeline DePuy Orthopedics, Inc.’s negligent conduct, from development:
