DePuy Hip Settlement – ASR Hip Payout Status

DePuy Hip Settlement – ASR Hip Payout Status: "SR hip implant plaintiffs may soon be recovering funds under the terms of the DePuy hip settlement, according to a status report released last month. Legal counsel for DePuy indicates that just over 98 percent of eligible ASR hip recipients have enrolled in the settlement program, which will hopefully resolve some 12,000 DePuy hip lawsuits against the manufacturer.
At the heart of the litigation are claims that the ASR XL Acetabular Hip System is defective and unreasonably dangerous, causing patients to suffer severe and life-altering complications. Lawsuit filings have escalated following a global recall of ASR devices in 2010, after it was found that metal components would grind together, releasing toxic ions into the body."
