The award provides more than $30 million in actual damages and more than $1 billion in punitive damages, for the 6 individual patients covered by the case. The company still faces“almost 9,000 lawsuits” filed against it regarding the hips.
While J&J has previously paid $2.5 billion to settle claims relating to its ASR line of artificial hips, which were recalled in 2010, its Pinnacle artificial hips were not covered by this settlement.
