A new DePuy ASR metal-on-metal hip replacement trial was scheduled to begin this week in Illinois state court in Chicago, according to court records. Carol Strum, a 54-year-old nurse from Illinois, alleges that Johnson & Johnson failed to warn of the risks associated with the device’s defective design.* The Rottenstein Law Group, a hip implant law firm, will monitor news and provide analysis over the course of the trial.

The first trial just concluded last week, resulting in an $8.3 million verdict in Los Angeles Superior Court against Johnson & Johnson and subsidiary Depuy Orthopaedics. The first trials in the federal multidistrict litigation (MDL-2197, U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio) are set to begin later this year, according to the New York Times.**
