Chicago, Ill. (PRWEB) April 16, 2013

A jury in the second Depuy ASR trial in the nation found in favor of defendant DePuy Pharmaceuticals after a monthlong trial in Cook County Circuit Court in Illinois, according to court records (Strum v. DePuy (2011-L-009352, Cook County [Ill.] Circuit Court)). The Rottenstein Law Group, while disappointed by this verdict, notes that this trial could be an outlier and that plaintiffs could still be awarded millions of dollars in future DePuy ASR lawsuits. The firm maintains an informational website at http://www.depuyrecallnewscenter.com, which offers updates on the ASR and explains the process for filing an ASR lawsuit.

Strum, an Illinois nurse, had claimed that Johnson & Johnson subsidiary DePuy marketed its metal-on-metal DePuy ASR hip implant, despite knowing it had a defective design. Strum’s lawyer had said in closing arguments that Strum should be awarded $5 million, citing the pain and suffering she experienced after receiving the implant in 2008 and requiring revision surgery in 2011, according to Bloomberg.* The first ASR trial in the nation in Los Angeles saw the plaintiff receive more than an $8.3 million award for damages.

(PRWEB) February 11, 2013

The Rottenstein Law Group monitors news related to the DePuy ASR hip recall and has learned that in the ongoing trial in Los Angeles Superior Court a surgeon testified that a DePuy executive allegedly warned him of the recall* before the move went public.

Dr. Craig Swenson, who said he had performed 200 DePuy ASR XL surgeries, testified that DePuy President David Floyd had lunch with him in March 2010, about five months before the recall. He told Swenson that sales of the ASR were to cease, but he did not tell Swenson why, according to Bloomberg. Swenson also testified that he stopped using the ASR as a hip implant because patients complained of potential side effects such as pain and high levels of metal ions in the bloodstream. Previous testimony indicated that DePuy knew of the high risks and side effects well before the recall.**
