(PRWEB) January 16, 2013

On the eve of the first DePuy ASR hip replacement trial on Jan. 22 in Los Angeles, Calif., the DePuy ASR recall attorneys at Rottenstein Law Group are reviewing court records that show how DePuy plans to defend itself against claims from Loren Kransky of North Dakota, who seeks monetary damages for side effects such as metal poisoning that he allegedly suffered as a result of the device.

Court records for the case (In re: Loren Kransky and Sheryl Kransky v. DePuy, Inc., et al BC456086, Los Angeles Superior Court) show that DePuy will argue that Kransky, 64, has a history of ailments not related to the DePuy ASR hip replacement that doctors installed in him in 2007. DePuy’s attorneys will highlight Kransky’s pre-existing conditions, in addition to arguing that he did not pursue the 2011 removal of his ASR and subsequent DePuy lawsuit until after he and his wife and co-plaintiff Sheryl Kransky read about the 2010 DePuy ASR recall online, “research that led them to unsubstantiated but sensational and alarming accounts of the dangers” of DePuy ASR hip replacement implants, according to the records.
