ohnson & Johnson's (NYSE:JNJ) artificial joint business is recalling two hip replacement products, which is the company's 11th recall since September. DePuy Orthopaedics Inc. said it is recalling two hip replacement products because new data shows higher-than-expected rates of patients needing a second hip replacement procedure. One in eight patients needed a revision surgery within five years, which is required when an artificial joint doesn't fit perfectly, causing pain and difficulty walking. David Floyd, president of DePuy Orthopaedics said, ""We are committed to assisting patients and healthcare providers by providing information through multiple channels and paying for the cost of doctor visits, tests and procedures associated with the recall."" If you or a loved one are suffering due to a Johnson & Johnson hip recall, you may be entitled to compensation.
