The US Drug Watchdog is saying, "We are very worried about what will turn out to be a very poorly publicized deadline to have all recalled DePuy ASR metal on metal hip implant recipients identified, so we are ramping up our efforts to make certain every recipient of the recalled DePuy ASR metal on metal hip implant gets identified to possible law firms. As it sits right now, we fear over 25,000 US citizens with this specific hip implant will get left holding the bag." ASR DePuy hip implants failed at an unacceptably high rates. As a result there was a recall on this hip implant device in August of 2010. DePuy ASR hip implants were surgically implanted on nearly 40,000 US citizens between 2005 and early 2010. The US Drug Watchdog is urging family members of hip implant recipients, who received a hip implant between 2005, and mid 2010, to ask if the hip implant was a DePuy ASR? The US Drug Watchdog says, "If you, or a loved one has had a hip replacement involving the recalled ASR DePuy hip implant, please call us immediately at 866-714-6466, and we will do everything possible to get you meaningful help from the best possible attorneys-before time runs out." http://USDrugWatchdog.com
Important Note from the US Drug Watchdog, "We now believe the easiest way for a recipient of a recalled DePuy ASR metal on metal hip implant, or the recipients of any type of metal on metal hip implant to see if their hip implant has failed, is to get a simple blood test focused on elevated levels of cobalt, or chromium in the recipients blood stream." http://USDrugWatchdog.Com
The US Drug Watchdog is the premier private recalled pharmaceutical, and medical device watchdog in the United States. The group says, "We want to make certain all DePuy ASR hip implant victims get to the actual trial law firms or attorneys that have the best record in achieving superior results for their clients."
