Woman Files Suit in Beaumont, Texas Federal Court Against DePuy Orthopaedics and Johnson & Johnson Over Recalled Hip Device

March 11, 2011 By Bio-Medicine.Org

LIBERTY, Texas, March 10, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Donna L. Jenkins
filed suit today in the United States District Court in Beaumont,
Texas, over a failed hip replacement system from Johnson &
Johnson, Inc. and DePuy Orthopaedics that was recalled from the
market.  John David Hart of the Law Offices of John David Hart
in Fort Worth, Texas, is the attorney representing her.

On November 9, 2006, Ms. Jenkins, an active owner of a horse
ranch in Liberty County, Texas, underwent surgery to implant the
Johnson & Johnson/DePuy Orthopaedics ASR XL Acetabular hip
replacement system. The device began to fail in less than three
years, causing hip pain, lack of mobility, and elevated levels of
cobalt and chromium in her blood system. Ms. Jenkins was forced to
have revision surgery on December 14, 2010. She is now undergoing
enormous strains as she tries to put her health and her life back
together.

“Donna Jenkins is suffering the life-changing consequences of
having a dangerous, defective device in her body,” attorney John
David Hart said. “DePuy advertised the ASR device as being a
superior, high-performance hip replacement. For Ms. Jenkins and her
family, nothing was further from the truth.  She seeks
reasonable compensation for her injuries and damages.”

DePuy Orthopaedics, Inc., a division of Johnson and Johnson,
Inc., recalled its ASR XL Acetabular metal-on-metal hip replacement
system on August 24, 2010. This recall came after data from a
recent study indicated that the five year failure rate of this
product is approximately 13%, or more than 1 in 8 patients. DePuy
identified reasons for the failure of the hip replacement system as
component loosening, component malalignment, infection, fracture of
the bone, dislocation, metal sensitivity and pain. Additional
complications from the DePuy ASR XL Acetabular hip replacement
system may include increased metal ion levels in the blood, bone
staining, necrosis, swelling, nerve damage, tiss
