US Drug Watchdog Wants To Hear From Every Recalled ASR DePuy Hip Implant Recipient About & The Probability The Hip Implant Will Fail


Feb 17, 2011 (PRWeb.com via COMTEX) -- The US Drug Watchdog says, "we fear there are 10,000's of US citizens, who range in age from middle age to senior citizens, who are recipients of a ASR DePuy hip implant, installed between 2005, and the first three months of 2010, and we want to talk with them-out of fear the device may be failing, or has already failed." They say, "we are strongly encouraging family members, or loved ones of anyone receiving a hip implant since 2005, to ask if it was a ASR DePuy hip implant, out of fear the family member may not want to complain." The group says, "we could easily have tens of thousands of US DePuy hip implant victims, and because of age, or not wanting to go through a hip replacement revision surgery again, they say nothing. Nothing is more important to us than trying to get these people identified."

The group says, "tragically the Internet is loaded with misleading ads about ASR DePuy hip implant compensation, lawsuits, or class actions; unfortunately most of the attorneys, or law firms advertising for help with the ASR DePuy hip implant failures are middlemen marketing law firms-not the actual trial law firms, that will prosecute these cases." They say, "we want to make certain all ASR Depuy hip implant victims get to the actual trial law firms, or attorneys, that have the best record in achieving superior results for their clients-period-no middleman marketing law firms, or attorneys."
