(1) DePuy Hip Recall. These hips were manufactured by the Johnson & Johnson Co.
The specific hips recalled were the DePuy ASR and some DePuy Pinnacle models.
On Nov. 19, 2013, Johnson & Johnson & its DePuy subsidiary announced that they will pay at least $2.5 Billion dollars to settle thousands of individual lawsuits.
The Stryker Recall was made in June 2012.
Because metal ions were shearing off of the cup in which the ceramic ball of the hip was placed, causing these tiny metal fragments to lodge in the surrounding tissue or to be released into the bloodstream.
. Repeated dislocations
. Pseudo tumors
. Heavy metal poisoning
. Kidney problems and possible renal failure
. Loss of vision or hearing
There are 5 things you need to know when it comes to the Stryker recall:
(1) The voluntary recall followed the discovery that the devices are prone to “fret and corrode”
(2) You may be entitled to compensation if you received one of these Stryker implants and you are experiencing pain, swelling and immobility
(3) You will need to know the name of the surgeon who performed your surgery
(4) You should also consult with your surgeon to find out if you need a revision surgery
(5) Joining a class action law suit against Stryker may not get you the full compensation you deserve.

(1) Document everything!
Keep a record of your treatment and all of the problems you have experienced from the hip implant.
(2) Second opinion.
You may consider having a second opinion from a different surgeon about your pain.
(3) Gather your records and keep track of all of your expenses.
(4) Speak to a lawyer as soon as possible.
Only a lawyer can get you the full compensation you deserve for your injuries. Just because you had one of these hip recalls does not mean Stryker will be reaching out to you and giving you money.
