There are a lot of patients who have been subject to the DePuy hip replacement recall who decided to file the necessary DePuy hip recall lawsuit. The patients believe that this is the only action that they could do to get even with the manufacturing company of the device that has caused them considerable damages that includes physical pain, additional and unnecessary expenses because of medication and testing and a lot more.

The DePuy hip recall that has caused damages to almost 93,000 patients was due to the high revision rate of two of its hip replacement products namely the DePuy ASR XL acetabular system and the DePuy ASR hip resurfacing system. According to the data that was presented by DePuy Orthopaedics Inc. , the manufacturing company of the said faulty devices, 12-13 percent or about one out of every eight patients implanted by the device needs to undergo another hip surgery after just five years from their initial operation.

There had been more than 150 DePuy hip recall lawsuit that was filed against the manufacturing company of the faulty hip replacement device since the announcement of the DePuy hip recall. There are two versions of the class action lawsuits that are filed, all of which are based on the product liability law which states that all retailers, manufacturers, suppliers distributors and all individuals that belongs to the chain of distribution are legally responsible for the injuries that their products will cause.

The first version of the DePuy Hip recall lawsuit is based on the design defect claim under the product liability law. They say that DePuy Orthopaedics has failed to conduct all the necessary research and testing on the effects and results of their device. Their lack of knowledge caused the device to be a failure which in turn has affected thousands of lives.

The second version of the DePuy hip recall lawsuit was also based on the product liability law but is under the marketing defect theory or the failure to inform the public. This class action states that the manufacturing company was aware of the high revision rate of their product however, they failed to announce the recall until there are thousands of people that will be affected. They believe that if the recall was announced earlier, there would be fewer patients that will be affected, because they will logically avoid the use of the DePuy hip replacement products.
