Johnson & Johnson Aware of 40% Failure in Hip Implant

Posted on January 23, 2013 by James Sabatini - Defective Products, Hot Topics, Legal News

An internal analysis performed by Johnson & Johnson in 2011 not long after it recalled a hip implant device estimated that the all-metal device would fail within five years in nearly 40 percent of patients who received it. Johnson & Johnson never released those projections for the device, the Articular Surface Replacement, or ASR, which the company recalled in mid-2010. But at the same time that the medical products giant was performing that analysis, it was publicly playing down similar findings from a British implant registry about the device’s early failure rate. The company’s analysis also suggests that the hip implant will likely fail prematurely over the next few years in thousands of more patients.

If you or loved one has suffered serious injury or complications with a hip implant, call our attorneys today at 860-667-0839.

Posted on November 20, 2012 by James Sabatini - Hot Topics, Legal News, Unsafe Drugs

A deadly fungal meningitis outbreak has swept across the nation. CDC and FDA have investigated the outbreak and determined that the fungal meningitis is linked to contaminated epidural steroid injections produced by the New England Compounding Center located in Framingham, Massachusetts. The company has since shut down all operations and has recalled all products compounded and distributed from its Framingham facility. Over 270 people across 16 states have been diagnosed with fungal meningitis linked to contaminated injections. 23 deaths have been reported. The full extent of the outbreak remains unknown as additional cases are being reported. Connecticut is one of the states that received contaminated injections.

Symptoms of fungal meningitis include fever, headache, light sensitivity, neck stiffness, slurred speech, increased pain, redness or swelling at the injection site and new weakness or numbness in any part of the body. The onset of symptoms have occurred from one to four weeks after receiving the injections. However, longer and shorter periods have been reported.
