  DePuy Hip Recall Lawyers
  
  The DePuy ASR ball-and-socket hip implant has become the subject of much discussion and controversy recently, due to the fact many patients have experienced severe unwanted effects as a result of the hip replacement system.
  
  Many physicians think the cup used in the DePuy ASR hip implant is way too shallow. This design defect can cause improper implantation as well as other issues, such as loosening of the actual hip implant in the body along with "metallosis," a condition triggered by movement of the implant that could result in the release of damaging levels of chromium and cobalt ions into the body.
  
  Since 2008, the Food and Drug Administration has become aware of more than three hundred complaints alleging problems caused as a result of receiving the implant, which include:
  
  -Loose hip cups
  -Hip dislocations
  -Bone cracks
  -Pseudotumors coming from metal debris
  -Allergic reactions
  -Permanent muscle mass as well as tissue deterioration
  
  Hip implants are generally likely to keep working up to 15 years, but a majority of individuals have alleged the DePuy implant systems are failing after only 2 or even three years, necessitating costly and painful future surgery in order to replace the implant.
  
  Regularly asked questions
  
  What does Johnson & Johnson say regarding the recall?
  
  On August 26, 2010, DePuy Orthopaedics, Inc., a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, issued a voluntary recall of its ASR XL Acetabular System and the ASR Hip Resurfacing System. In doing so, they basically admitted that they manufactured and sold a hip replacement system that quit working at a higher rate as compared to marketplace requirements, necessitating many sufferers to need a procedure to take out and replace the particular flawed, harmful items.
  
  Just How Long can it Take to Arrive at a Settlement with DePuy?
