Five months before Johnson & Johnson’s DePuy unit recalled 93,000 all-metal hips, the company addressed the concerns of a marketing executive who had been suggesting a recall, his boss told a California jury.
The boss, Randall Kilburn, testified today in state court in Los Angeles that he spoke to Paul Berman, a director of hip marketing, after Berman sent an e-mail on March 14, 2010, expressing his concern over the safety of DePuy’s ASR hip device.
