Bard Proposes Ventralight ST & Ventralex Claims For Initial Trials
Introduction
C.R. Bard and its Davol, Inc. subsidiary have proposed that from over a thousand lawsuits faced by them, claims related to Bard Ventralight ST and Bard Ventralex mesh be the first to go before a jury later this year.
The company faces more than 3,500 lawsuits with similar allegations from plaintiffs due to various hernia polypropylene mesh device, namely Ventralex, Ventralight, PerFix, 3DMax, and other devices. The outcomes of these trials will not be forced on other pending lawsuits. U.S. District Judge Edmund A. Sargus in the Southern District of Ohio will look into the proceedings of the trials which are scheduled to begin on May 11, 2020; July 13, 2020; and September 14, 2020.
Bard has proposed to start the trials with Ventralight ST and Ventralex, as the lawsuits involving these devices are more as compared to other devices, which will ease the process of determining the potential settlement.
