We are now advising all US recipients of the DePuy ASR, or the DePuy Pinnacle to start getting blood tests every six month. If there is cobalt, or chromium in your blood we want you to call us-on the spot
(PRWEB) July 31, 2012
The US Drug Watchdog says, "We firmly believe we have one hundred fifty thousand plus DePuy Pinnacle or DePuy ASR hip implant recipients in the US and, because of age or not wanting to go through a hip replacement revision surgery again, they say nothing, or they have not yet heard about the issues with metal on metal hip implants. Nothing is more important to us than trying to get them some help, that includes the best possible attorneys. We are now strongly encouraging recipients of the recalled DePuy ASR, and or the DePuy Pinnacle metal on metal hip implants to start getting blood tests every six months, with an emphasis on seeing if there is cobalt, or chromium in the hip implant recipient's blood stream. If the blood test is positive for cobalt, or chromium please call us immediately. " According to the New York Times on December 27th 2011, "Some 500,000 patients have received an all-metal replacement hip." The US Drug Watchdog says, "Our current number one priority is to identify every recipient of the recalled DePuy ASR metal-on-metal and/or the DePuy Pinnacle hip implant, that are both named in national class action lawsuits, because we do not want these hip implant recipients missing out on what could be a huge settlement, and significant compensation. Our biggest fear is that--if the recalled DePuy ASR, or the DePuy Pinnacle recipients miss out on a settlement now, they could be up the creek down the road. For this reason, we are strongly encouraging family members, or loved ones of anyone receiving a hip implant between 2002 and early 2010 to ask if it was a DePuy ASR or DePuy Pinnacle hip implant."

The group says, "We want to make certain all DePuy ASR, or DePuy Pinnacle hip implant recipients get to the best possible national caliber trial law firms or attorneys that have the best record in achieving superior results for their clients. Because failure could still be in the future for any recipient, we think it is vital to get all DePuy ASR, or DePuy Pinnacle recipients now, as an important way to protect their future."
