Thousands of Cases Filed Over Device Complications and Alleged Manufacturer Negligence
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration received 12 reports in 2006 from patients implanted with the DePuy ASR implant, and the first complaint of ASR complications included the alleged failure of the device during a surgical procedure in which a surgeon was checking the product. To date, more than 12,000 ASR lawsuits have been filed against the medical device manufacturer regarding the ASR hip replacement device, and DePuy reportedly agreed to a $2.5 billion settlement to help resolve the thousands of ASR lawsuits that are currently progressing against the company.
The alleged complications involving the DePuy Pinnacle and the DePuy ASR hip replacement devices include dislocation, bone fractures, reduced mobility, instability, inflammation, loosening of the device, infection, and early device failure. Additionally, several plaintiffs have allegedly suffered from metallosis, or metal poisoning, as a result of the friction of the metal components causing chromium and cobalt ions to settle in the patient’s blood stream.
According to those pursuing claims for compensation, DePuy had known, or should have known, about the adverse effects and complications that could occur in ASR recipients. The manufacturer is also accused of failing to warn the public of these risks in an attempt to protect its financial interests. In March 2013, the first DePuy ASR lawsuit was settled, and a Los Angeles jury awarded the plaintiff with damages totaling $8.3 million.

"Van Sant Law was the right support to call after my car accident with my daughter."They were referred to me by a close friend of mine. Extremely professional, and asked the language I feel comfortable to discuss my case in. Alex Rusanov was my case manager and explained every aspect of my case during the process.
