The Johnson & Johnson Company has recently reported that sales of its products, including metal-onmetal hip implants, were up but that revenues were down dramatically probably on account of the pay-outs for settlements in cases of defective product causing serious personal injury. Certain metal-on-metal hip implants have been recalled.
The DePuy hip implant, for example, made by a division of Johnson & Johnson, an all-metal hip implant or replacement system, was recalled of the upon concerns which arose over the early failure of the hip implants, concerns related to personal injury. 90,000 artificial hip replacements were recalled because patients have suffered serious maladies and other medical complications after some time with the replacement metal hips.
