Chicago (PRWEB) March 11, 2013
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. News and updates are found on the firm’s website, depuyrecallnewscenter.com.
This
is the second ASR lawsuit to go to trial at a state level (In Re DePuy
ASR Hip Litigation, No. 10-L-10506, Cook County Circuit Court). 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.**
