US Drug Watchdog Now Urges All Recalled DePuy ASR Hip Implant Recipients Call Them For The Names Of The Best Attorneys Out Of Fear The Recipients Will Get Nothing

The US Drug Watchdog says, "We fear there is a looming deadline of August 2012 to get every recalled DePuy ASR hip implant identified to the best possible national caliber attorney, and we do not care if the recalled DePuy ASR hip implant has failed yet, or not. We do not want tens of thousands of recalled DePuy ASR hip implant recipients left sitting on the curb because they did not hear about the recall, or the ongoing litigation that might give them $100,000+ should their device prematurely fail in the future." The ASR DePuy hip implants were surgically implanted on 40,000 US citizens between 2005 and early 2010. Tragically, only about 3400 DePuy ASR recipients have been identified by the federal court handling the litigation over the DePuy ASR. According to the New York Times, "The so-called metal-on-metal hips, in which a device’s ball and joint are made of metal, are failing at high rates within a few years instead of lasting 15 years or more, as artificial joints normally do. The wear of metal parts against each other is generating debris that is damaging tissue and, in some cases, crippling patients." The US Drug Watchdog says, "If you or a loved one has had a hip replacement involving the recalled DePuy ASR hip implant, please call us immediately at 866-714-6466." http://USDrugWatchdog.Com

US Drug Watchdog says, "We fear there are tens of thousands of recalled DePuy ASR hip implant recipients in the US who, because of age or not wanting to go through a hip replacement revision surgery again, they say nothing. Nothing is more important to us than trying to get them some meaningful help in the form of legal representation with the focus being compensation." According to the New York Times, "There is no data on the number of all-metal hips that have failed prematurely in this country, but extrapolating from overseas data and the estimate of metal hip use here, tens of thousands of patients in the United States may have to undergo operations over the next decade." The US Drug Watchdog says,"It is absolutely vital we get every recalled DePuy ASR metal-on-metal hip implant identified to the best possible attorneys with the focus on compensation, because there could be a looming deadline of August 2012 to get all DePuy ASR metal on metal hip implant recipients identified. The DePuy ASR hip implant was recalled in August 2010." For more information about the DePuy ASR hip implant recall please call the US Drug Watchdog at 866-714-6466, or contact the group via its web site at http://USDrugWatchdog.Com

  • Elevated levels of cobalt in the recalled DePuy ASR recipients blood stream

The US Drug Watchdog is the premier medical device, and pharmaceutical watchdog in the United States.
