Hernia Mesh Cases Can be Filed Directly Under Federal MDL
Hernia Mesh Cases Can be Filed Directly Under Federal MDL
Introduction
As per an order submitted on September 7, hernia mesh lawsuits involving C.R. Bard Inc 's polypropylene implants can be filed directly in the multidistrict litigation which is underway in the U.S. District Court, Southern District of Ohio. The direct filing would eliminate delays in transferring the cases from other jurisdiction. Also, it would promote judicial efficiency and facilitate coordinated discovery and other pretrial proceedings. Any case remaining unresolved would be remanded back to appropriate jurisdiction and venue for trial by the Court.
There are more than 170 hernia mesh lawsuits pending in the federal MDL filed by individuals who suffered serious injuries allegedly due to the defective polypropylene hernia mesh implants. Ventralex, Perfix, and Composix devices sold by C.R. Bard and its Davol, Inc. subsidiary have been reported to be defectively designed in the lawsuits.
