DePuy has released the following statement to the public:

"Data recently received by the company shows that more people than expected who received the ASR Hip System experienced pain and other symptoms that led to a second hip replacement surgery, called a revision surgery. For this reason, DePuy Orthopaedics is voluntarily recalling its ASR(tm) XL Acetabular System and DePuy ASR(tm) Hip Resurfacing System. This recall means additional testing and treatment may be necessary to ensure the hip is functioning well. In some cases, patients may need additional surgery."

The attorneys of Schlichter Bogard & Denton, LLP are national leaders in pharmaceutical litigation. We are investigating injuries involving DePuy Hip Implants and have already filed cases on behalf of persons injured as a result of this product.
