Late last year, DePuy successfully moved the federal Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (MDL) to consolidate all these lawsuits into one case before federal District Court Judge David Katz of the Northern District of Ohio in Toledo. After this, things started moving efficiently even though there was a slight delay on the scheduled status conference.
In August 2010, DePuy Orthopaedics was sent a request by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to implement a recall for its ASR hip replacement system. DePuy’s compliance to the FDA’s request was largely due to its own reports showing that 12-13% of recipients were experiencing premature failure of their devices.
A lot of people believe that it is too much to call the DePuy situation a medical disaster. Here is what a medical expert, Dr. Norman Joyce has to say, “It’s the biggest disaster in the history of orthopedics. To think here we are in the 21st century, in 2011, that we have such major failures. This has major implications around the world.”
