Important Notice Regarding DePuy Hip Replacement Devices

DePuy Orthopedics, a subdivision of Johnson & Johnson, manufactures hip replacement systems. On July 17, 2010, the FDA issued a Notice of Recall for the DePuy ASR Hip replacement device. Nearly 100,000 DePuy hip devices were implanted worldwide and it is expected that over 12,000 failures have occurred.

If you, a family member, or friend received a DePuy hip replacement device between 2003 and 2010, you may be subject to this recall, and you may have a claim for money damages. The most common problems or symptoms are misalignment, difficulty standing and walking, crunching or popping noises, limping or favoring one leg, hip fractures or dislocation, fatigue, tissue inflammation with infection or necrosis, and severe hip pain.

If you have a DePuy hip device and are experiencing any of these symptoms, you should contact Avera & Smith immediately:
