In a statement, California Attorney Xavier Becerra, commented, “Johnson & Johnson is alleged to have deceived vulnerable patients in need of hip replacement and undermined their ability to recuperate quickly and safely.”
“The company allegedly deceived consumers by circulating misleading research and ignoring up-to-date information about the effectiveness of its devices. There’s no excuse for Johnson & Johnson to have violated its customers’ trust, as well as California consumer protection laws, but we worked to hold them accountable,” added Becerra.
On the other hand, New York State Attorney General Letitia James, said, “Doctors and their patients need to have accurate and up to date information to ensure that patients are receiving appropriate healthcare. She also emphasized that they will never tolerate deceptive and false medical practices.
