Case Details
Johnson & Johnson agreed to settle lawsuits over allegedly defective metal-on-metal hip implants manufactured by its DePuy Orthopedics unit.
Additional Notes
Settlement resolves about 95% of over 6,000 lawsuits. Implants failed, broke, or caused metal ions to seep into blood, leading to allergic reactions, bone erosion, tissue death, and further surgeries. Includes an earlier $400 million settlement.
