DePuy released a public statement on August 26th, 2010, announcing the DePuy hip recall. DePuy hip implant lawsuits involving serious and permanent injuries have been filed. The goal is to find out what DePuy knew about the risks and failure rates of its products, and whether the products they implanted in thousands of people were defective. Should DePuy have known? Should DePuy have warned doctors and patients of the failure rates earlier? The truth will become known through the DePuy recall lawsuits.
DePuy hip implant lawsuits take into consideration that patients will have to go through a second “revision” surgery that wouldn’t have been necessary had the system not failed.
