This week isn't going to get any better for DePuy Inc., as the Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) subsidiary is set to have its dirty laundry aired in front of a Senate panel tomorrow.

The U.S. Senate's Special Committee on Aging announced that the Warsaw, Ind.-based company's massive hip replacement system recall will be front and center during its examination of the FDA and its role in "protecting patient safety as part of the medical device approval process," according to a prepared release.
