Numerous artificial knee joints and hips have been improperly sterilized with radiation, making them brittle and prone to breakdown. The defective products were manufactured by Depuy and Smith & Nephew. Depuy is a Johnson & Johnson company.

There have been reports of premature failures of the Johnson and Johnson/Depuy Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene knee and hip prostheses. These products were made from polyurethane, a dense plastic that rapidly degrades if irradiated in air. Although these harmful effects have been understood for at least forty years, the prosthesis manufacturers sterilized knee and hip implants with gamma radiation.
