Voluntary recall does not imply hip implant was faulty: J&J
Johnson and Johnson (J&J) on Thursday said the voluntary recall of its hip implant doesn't mean it is faulty. The hip replacement device was recalled in India in 2010 following global reports of metal poisoning and high failure rate. In 2013, J&J agreed to pay $2.5 billion to around 8,000 US citizens who sued the company following faulty hip implants.
