Johnson & Johnson subject to more than 10,000 lawsuits pertaining to faulty metal hip implants
More than 10,000 lawsuits are pending against Johnson & Johnson, manufacturer of the ASR XL hip implant, who withdrew the device from the market in August 2010 due to its high rate of failure. According to one attorney, metal debris created by the motion of the ball rubbing against the cup in the false hip led to the release of potentially toxic metal ions into plaintiffs' bloodstreams.
Despite warnings from key officials and medical experts, Johnson & Johnson waited several years to recall the product. Additionally, they failed to test the device properly, settling for limited machine testing rather than controlled clinical studies on people.
The company offered to pay more than $200,000 apiece to each affected hip recipient in order to avoid trial. However, plaintiffs' lawyers have so far rejected the offer.

Dan Hodes treated me like a human being, not just another client. He showed me he cared by how hard he worked on my case.
My daughter was born with a disability due to doctor neglect. I emailed over 200 lawyers over a 2 year time span. I had ONE lawyer believe in my case and he worked with Jeff Milman over the next year helping build my case. Jeff won my case and I cannot thank him enough for believing in me!! He was so pleasant to work with and professional. I will forever be thankful to him and his team!
They are friendly and honest and fought for what they believed was best in our interest.
