Ethicon Physiomesh MDL Lawsuits continue to grow

Introduction

Another Ethicon Physiomesh product liability lawsuit was filed by a California woman naming Johnson & Johnson and Ethicon as the defendants as she experienced complications following the mesh implant. This case though filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, will soon join the federal multidistrict litigation, MDL No. 2782 (in re Ethicon Physiomesh Flexible composite Hernia Mesh Products Liability Litigation) presided by U.S. District Judge Richard Story in the Northern District of Georgia which was formed to reduce duplicative discovery, avoid contradictory pretrial rulings and to serve the convenience of the parties, witnesses, and the courts.

Allegations faced by the manufacturers include failure to warn the medical community about the risk of complications following the mesh implantation, design and manufacturing defects and withholding important safety information from patients and the medical community about the risk of complications following hernia surgery due to mesh failure, adhesions, bowel obstructions and other adverse events.

Also, product liability cases continue to be filed by plaintiffs facing hernia complications related to Bard's PerFix Plug, with a possibility of a multidistrict litigation formation against C.R. Bard and its Davol subsidiary.
