The US Drug Watchdog is saying, "Of the nearly 40,000+ recipients of the recalled DePuy ASR metal on metal hip implant, only about 4000 hip implant recipients have been identified-so far. In this instance we believe the number of individuals identified should be closer to 25,000+ recalled DePuy ASR hip implant recipients." The DePuy ASR was recalled in August of 2010. The US Drug Watchdog also says, "With respect to the DePuy Pinnacle hip implant over 140,000 were surgically implanted between 2002 & 2010 in the US, there is already a Federal Multi District Litigation over the DePuy Pinnacle hip implant, and our big worry here is only a few individuals have signed up so far?" According to the New York Times on December 27th 2011, "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 to replace the implants." The US Drug Watchdog is saying, "Even if your DePuy ASR, or DePuy Pinnacle hip implant device has not failed-yet, we are offering to help get you identified to the best possible attorneys, because we do not want metal-on-metal hip implant recipients left holding the bag financially ten years from now."

The US Drug Watchdog has a new worry about victims of the recalled DePuy ASR metal on metal hip implant, and or the DePuy Pinnacle metal on metal hip implant. They say, "The average DePuy Pinnacle, or DePuy ASR recipient is about 50 years old. We are rarely hearing from recipients in their mid to late 60's, or 70's? Our concern is because of age the older DePuy ASR, or DePuy Pinnacle recipients do not want to go through hip implant replacement surgery, also called revision surgery. We need friends, and family members to help us get these recipients identified." http://USDrugWatchdog.Com
