New Case Management Order in New Jersey DePuy ASR Recall Litigation Extends Discovery to June 2014, More than 650 Metal Hip Lawsuits Filed in Consolidated Proceeding: "A new order has been issued in a consolidated DePuy ASR lawsuit litigation (http://www.depuy-asr-hip-recall.com/) currently underway in New Jersey’s Bergen County Superior Court, Bernstein Liebhard LLP reports.
According to a Case Management Order filed with the Court on October 17th, discovery for all matters related to the DePuy ASR metal-on-metal hip replacement has been extended to 2014. This follows a discovery end date for 2013, which will expire on or before the end of the year. Further discussion of discovery deadlines will take place at the consolidated proceeding’s next status conference on November 21, 2013, the order states.
Court records indicate that over 650 DePuy ASR recall lawsuits have been filed in the New Jersey litigation, and similarly allege that the metal-on-metal hip, which was taken off the market in August 2010 after it became associated with excessively high early failure rates, may cause serious complications in recipients.
