US Drug Watchdog Now Urges All Recipients Of A Recalled DePuy ASR Hip Implant To Call Them Immediately If The Statute Of Limitations Has Not Yet Run Out In Their State
(PRWEB) July 29, 2013 -- The US Drug Watchdog says, " We cannot even begin to emphasize how vital it is for us to try to do everything possible to get all DePuy ASR hip implant recipients identified, if they live in one of the states where the statute of limitations has not yet run out yet, because we are potentially talking about hundreds of thousands of dollars in financial compensation per recipient." According to court records the statute of limitations on the recalled DePuy ASR metal on metal hip implant has not yet run out in the following states: Arkansas, Washington D.C., Florida, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Vermont, Washington, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. The US Drug Watchdog says, "If you are a recipient of a recalled DePuy ASR, and you have not yet been identified by the court please call us as immediately at 866-714-6466, if the procedure was done in one of these states."

The US Drug Watchdog is the premier medical device, and pharmaceutical watchdog in the United States. The group says, “We also want to make certain all DePuy Pinnacle all metal hip implant recipients get a blood test to determine if their hip implant has failed. In the event the blood test indicates elevated levels of cobalt, and chromium we will get the recipient to national caliber law firms that have a superior record in representing their clients in these types of national lawsuits, involving possibly significant financial compensation. According to court records there are about 130,000 recipients of a DePuy Pinnacle all metal hip implant device, and only a small fraction have been identified by the federal court handling premature hip implant failure issues." For more information about the DePuy Pinnacle metal on metal hip implant, and a vital blood test please contact the US Drug Watchdog anytime at 866-714-6466, or contact the group via their web site. http://USDrugWatchdog.com
