DePuy Orthopaedics Inc. has quietly settled bellwether cases that had been scheduled for trial over its hip implant device.
The abrupt resolution of cases that had been set for trial in September and October came after a Los Angeles jury awarded $8.3 million against DePuy on March 8, but the company won a defense verdict in Chicago on April 16. According to Bloomberg News, Johnson & Johnson, DePuy’s parent company, is weighing an offer to pay $3 billion to settle more than 10,000 cases over its ASR device.
