2010 DePuy Hip Recall

In March 2011, The New York Times reported that DePuy issued its first warning to doctors and patients about the high early failure rate.Its ruling stated that all cases filed across the country "are transferred to the Northern District of Ohio and, with the consent of that court, assigned to the Honorable David A. Katz for coordinated or consolidated pretrial proceedings."Ben Gordon, Eric Kennedy, Ellen Relkin, Mark Robinson, Christopher Seeger, and Steven Skikos were named on the plaintiffs' Executive Committee.In late 2018, an Indian government report, the accuracy of which has been disputed by J&J, proposed that each patient who had a faulty implant should receive a lump sum payment of ₹2 million (US$27,812).J&J had previously provided US$2.25 million to cover diagnostic and surgical costs to patients with defective implants, but the Indian government was concerned that these monies included no compensatory funds.
