US Drug Watchdog Now Offers to Help all Recalled DePuy ASR Metal Hip Implant Recipients Get to the Best Law Firms before an Unpublicized Deadline Occurs & They Get Nothing

• 

We now fear a poorly publicized deadline to get all recalled DePuy ASR recipients identified to the court handling this litigation will come, and go, and the recipients who do not get identified now will have no recourse if their hip implant fails

The US Drug Watchdog says, "We now fear a very poorly publicized deadline to get all recalled DePuy ASR hip implant recipients identified to the court handling this litigation will come, and go, and the recipients who do not get identified now will have no recourse should their metal on metal hip implant fail in the near future. We are urging all DePuy ASR metal on metal hip implant recipients call us-so we can get them to the best possible law firms, so they can get formally included in any future settlement-but time could be running out-so DePuy ASR hip implant recipients need to move now." According to court records, of the approximately 40,00 recalled DePuy ASR hip implant recipients only a little more that 4000 have been identified by the federal court. The US Drug Watchdog beleives the actual number of citizens, who received a recalled DePuy ASR hip implant, that should be identified in the Ohio Federal Court handling these recall cases should be closer to 20,000 to 25,000. The US Drug Watchdog fears because many individuals who received a DePuy ASR hip implant do not want to go through a painful hip replacement surgery, also called revision surgery, they do not complain. Because of this, the US Drug Watchdog is urging family members or loved ones of anyone receiving a hip implant between 2005 and early 2010 to ask if it was a DePuy ASR hip implant, and to call them immediately so they can provide names of the most competent law firms.

Important Note from the US Drug Watchdog, "What has us most worried is we are not hearing from older recipients-especially those in their 60's, or 70's. To repeat-we need family members of anyone receiving a hip implant between 2005, and 2010 to ask if it was a DePuy ASR? We fear many older US citizens do not want to go through the ordeal of a hip implant surgery-so they say nothing. Here is the new really big problem—If the metal on metal hip implant has failed we now worry about blood poisoning from cobalt, or chromium. Elevated levels of cobalt, or chromium in a persons blood stream could cause renal failure, or severe liver damage." http://USDrugWatchdog.Com

The US Drug Watchdog indicates symptoms of the recalled ASR DePuy hip implant failure include:

• Pain in the Hip Region
• Problems While Walking or The Inability to Walk
• Swelling of the Hip
• General Discomfort
• Lack of Flexibility
• Elevated levels of cobalt, or chromium in the hip implant recipients blood

The US Drug Watchdog is the premier defective medical device, or recalled drug watchdog in the United States. The group says, "We want to make certain all ASR DePuy hip implant victims get to the actual trial law firms or attorneys that have the best record in achieving superior results for their clients. In our opinion, the settlements, or compensation related to the recalled DePuy ASR metal-on-metal hip implant will be significant, and because of the high failure rate, we think it is vital to get every DePuy ASR recipient identified, regardless if this specific hip implant has started to fail, or not."
