In August, 2010, DePuy Orthopedics, Inc., a Johnson & Johnson company, recalled its ASR model hip implants. The recall affects some 93,000 patients who received DePuy hip implants beginning in July 2003.

Indications of DePuy hip implant failure include: component loosening, component misalignment, infection, fracture of the bone, dislocation, metal sensitivity, inflammation, swelling, popping/grinding sounds and pain.

DePuy’s metal-on-metal design generates dangerously elevated levels of cobalt and chromium which may cause blindness, convulsions, deafness, depression and heart problems. Please consult your physician for blood testing.

The attorneys at Herren & Adams have over 50 years combined experience in products liability/personal injury law practice and are highly-rated by Best Lawyers®, Super Lawyers® and Martindale-Hubbell®.

Herren & Adams, a Lexington firm, has already initiated litigation on behalf of DePuy hip replacement clients. As with all litigation, there will be deadlines.

Tom Herren and Chuck Adams are personally interviewing prospective clients who have been affected by DePuy hip implants and would welcome the opportunity to speak with you. Please call (859) 254-0024.
