The announcement of DePuy Orthopaedics Inc. a subsidiary of the Johnson and Johnson Company has affected more than 93000 individuals all over the world. The recall on the products, ASR hip resurfacing system and the ASR XL acetabular system was due to the high revision rate of the two devices that requires the patients to undergo a revision surgery after just five years from their initial hip replacement operation. The recall has caused to the filing of several DePuy hip recall lawsuit.

The patients who have been affected by the DePuy hip recall are required to undergo several testing procedures to be able to check if the hip replacement device that was implanted on them is still functioning well. There are even some patients who need to undergo a revision surgery wherein the existing hip replacement device in their body will be removed and another device will be implanted.

Apparently the defective hip replacement devices have caused those considerable losses that includes physical and emotional pain, financial loss and even wage and salary loss. This caused them to seek the help of various experienced and wise DePuy hip recall lawyers. These lawyers give the patients the necessary information about their legal rights regarding the matter and may even represent them in court in case they decide to file a DePuy hip recall lawsuit against the manufacturing company.

Since the announcement of the DePuy hip recall on August 2010, there had been more than 150 DePuy hip recall lawsuit that was filed against the manufacturing company of the defective hip replacement device with the help of good hip recall lawyers. All the lawsuits that were filed are based on the product liability law that states that all the persons who belong in the distribution chain are liable or legally responsible for the injuries or damages that the product they are selling has caused.

There are basically two versions of the DePuy hip replacement recall class action lawsuits that are filed. The first one is claiming the design defect theory of the product liability law. They claim that the manufacturing company has failed to do the necessary researching and testing of the product. The second version of the lawsuit is also under the product liability law but unlike the first version, it claims the marketing theory. They are claiming that DePuy has the information about the high revision rate of the device but has failed to issue the recall until 2010.

Since there are different versions of the lawsuits and the circumstances of the patients it is also expected that the amount of the compensation that each patient will receive will also vary.
