According to a recent Bloomberg news report, David Floyd has officially stepped down as world president of DePuy Orthopaedics. Depuy is the division of Johnson & Johnson that produces artificial hip and knee replacements.
Floyd’s resignation comes amid continuing controversy about Depuy’s recall of its ASR hip implants. The New York Times recently reported that the ASR hip implants have been “failing worldwide at unusually high rates after just a few years.” Depuy’s faulty hip replacements have caused many patients to undergo painful revision surgery.
