New Report Shows Shocking Statistics Regarding Injuries Inflicted by Window Blinds on Children
A disturbing report was recently released by the Center for Injury Research and Policy, located at Columbus, Ohio, in the Nationwide Children’s Hospital. This report, the result of an analyzation of several different national databases which store information from all hospitals around the country, discovered that every month a child in the United States dies as a result of an incident involving window blinds. Furthermore, two children are injured every single day under the same circumstances.
Johnson & Johnson Knew About High Failure Rates in Hip Implants
A recent article in the New York Times reports that Johnson & Johnson, parent company of DePuy Orthopaedics, the company that manufactured faulty metal-on-metal hip replacement appliances, knew that the hip devices would fail within five years in nearly 40 percent of patients who had them surgically implanted. According to the article, which cited documents recently disclosed in the upcoming trial for a recipient who filed a lawsuit against DePuy, Johnson & Johnson conducted the internal analysis of the implants shortly after they were recalled. Of particular concern to implant recipients and Orlando personal injury attorneys such as James O. Cunningham is the fact that Johnson & Johnson knew of the high failure rate while it was publicly disputing similar findings conducted by a British implant registry.
