The most important (and expensive) product you may ever buy doesn't come with a warranty. For the thousands who had to sue Johnson & Johnson to get compensation for defective all-metal hips, the recent settlement marks the beginning of accountability. But it shouldn't be the end.
Johnson & Johnson's DePuy Orthopedics needs to step up and warranty all its hips and knees. The company claims its implants are safe and of high quality. If that's true, then it can back up these implants when they fail. Warranties would go a long way to rebuild consumer confidence in these products.
Warranties help both patients and shareholders. Johnson & Johnson just set aside billions to cover the settlement of claims over its failed line of DePuy metal-on-metal hips. Patients waited years for compensation. Shareholders don't know where it will end. Instead, a good warranty would get medical care to those with failed implants, while giving everyone a reasonable framework for quickly covering the costs (parts and labor).
