The U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPML) is meeting on November 18 in Durham, North Carolina.to centralize all federal DePuy ASR recall lawsuits.

As a Texas Benzene Cancer Exposure Attorney, I frequently write articles about this new scourge of the 21st century.
I firmly believe, based on my medical knowledge, that all this drilling and fracking for oil and gas is setting us up for a new wave of benzene induced cancers, particularly leukemias.
Earlier this year, there was a huge gas leakage at BP’s Texas City refinery, which led to the company having to flare gases. As the company worked to fix the leakage, approximately 530,000 pounds of noxious pollutants were released into the Texas City air. This included 17,000 pounds of benzene, a known carcinogen.
As a Fort Worth Benzene Toxic Spill attorney, I read with interest the following article regarding BP’s petroleum operations in Alaska. The last pristine wild-life area in the world is at great risk for an environmental disaster of immense proportions. This another in a series of articles that I am writing regarding the toxic exposure we are experiencing.
The huge pipeline system that moves oil, gas and waste throughout BP’s petroleum operations in Alaska, has severe corrosion, according to an internal report.
The report states that 148 BP pipelines on Alaska’s North Slope have received an “F-rank’ from the company.

As a Fort Worth Medical Malpractice attorney, I read with interest this Texas medical malpractice case.
A Texas jury awarded $4 million to a man who had a surgical sponge left inside him after a cholecystectomy surgery in 2008.
Several months later, he returned to the hospital with severe stomach pain, according to the law suit. Upon further testing including abdominal ct scan,, it was discovered that a sponge had been accidentally left inside his abdomen.
As a Dallas Depuy Hip Recall Attorney, I am fielding many calls from concerned plaintiffs regarding their implanted DePuy ASR Metal on Metal Hip prosthesis.
Many plaintiffs are understandably concerned, about what to do next once they receive a certified letter from their orthopedic doctor, allegedly ghost written by DePuy.
Many folks are asked to get a blood test and are asked to sign over their hip surgery medical records. Patients with the metal hip devices have suffered pain and inflammation from device malfunction, and have endured metallosis when the grinding of metal parts in the hip implants releases cobalt and chromium into their bloodstream.
As a Fort Worth Benzene Lawsuit Attorney, I have been writing over the past month a series of stories on the Environment and Toxicity.
According to a new study, mothers who live in Texas neighborhoods with higher levels of benzene, a pollutant from refineries and tailpipes, are more likely to have babies with a serious neurological defects.
Texas leads the nation in benzene releases, accounting for more than 34% of emissions.
As a Dallas DePuy Recall attorney I am concern about the risks of Cobalt and Chromium poisoning, resulting from the metal on metal grinding of the DePuy ASR Prosthetic Hips.
In August of this year, DePuy Orthopaedics Inc., recalled the ASR metal-on-metal hip replacement system, admitting that about one out of every eight patients who receives the hip implant may experience early hip failure within five years. The actual ratio of defective hips may be as high as one out of five or 20%, or even higher.
Structeral design and manufacturing problems with the DePuy metal-on-metal hip replacement system allow the toxic release of chromium and cobalt to be absorbed into the blood-stream.
