On August 26, 2010, Johnson & Johnson announced their eleventh recall since September 2009. This recall stems from DePuy Orthopaedics Inc., which is a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson..

DePuy Orthopaedics Inc., announced that it would be recalling its ASR Hip Resurfacing System and its ASR XL Acetabular hip-replacement system. According to the company, the recall took place because of new data from the National Joint Registry (NJR) of England and Wales which shows that within five years, one in eight patients needed a revision surgery, with the risk being highest amongst women. This translates to a five-year revision rate of approximately 12% for the ASR Hip Resurfacing System and approximately 13% for the ASR XL Acetabular System.

Besides this device, Johnson & Johnson has recalled many over-the-counter drugs such as Children’s Tylenol, Junior Strength Motrin, Children’s Benadryl, Zyrtec Eye Drops, and Rolaids soft chews.
