The plaintiffs allege Mr. Gorsky’s involvement in the testing, marketing and August 2010 recall of the hip implant could “lead to the discovery of admissible evidence.” Johnson & Johnson said Mr. Gorsky’s deposition would not be necessary since the company has made 43 witnesses, including eight former and current DePuy executives, and documents available for the case.
