(PRWEB) August 03, 2012

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 of the approximately 40,000 devices out there, only about 4000 DePuy ASR recipients have been identified by the federal court in Ohio that is handling the litigation. 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 for all recalled DePuy ASR recipients." The DePuy ASR hip implant was recalled in August 2010. According to the New York Times, "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, "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. We need to get these individuals identified, and we think we need family members to help us."

The US Drug Watchdog says, "We are repeating it is not just the DePuy ASR, or DePuy Pinnacle metal on metal hip implant failures that have us extremely concerned. We are also hearing from recipients of the Smith and Nephew Birmingham hip device, along with recipients of BioMet Magnum, who have suffered failures, and again we are demanding answers from the US FAD. There are 500,000 US citizens who have a metal on metal hip implant. When we the US FDA step into provide meaningful leadership to the US metal on metal hip implant disaster?" http://USDrugWatchdog.Com
