As a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sinklaw.com\/\">DePuy hip recall attorney<\/a> , the kickback charges raise serious questions about the company&#8217;s motives in producing these devices.<\/p>\n<p>In 2007, DePuy faced criminal charges for those kickbacks and the federal False Claims Act, which they chose to have dismissed by signing a Deferred Prosecution Agreement and paying civil settlements to the Departments of Justice and Health and Human Services for $84.7 million.<\/p>\n<p>Just three years later, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration recalled the same DePuy devices the company allegedly paid doctors to install in patients, leaving them with a high-risk failing device and potentially requiring difficult revision surgery.<\/p>\n<p>As a  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sinklaw.com\/\">South Carolina Personal Injury Attorney<\/a> , it seems like the kickback scheme was obviously aimed at collecting a maximum number of Medicare reimbursements.
