J&J, Ethicon Face a Growing Number of Ventral Patch Lawsuits

Introduction

Apart from thousands of Physiomesh lawsuits filed against Johnson & Johnson and its Ethicon subsidiary, there is a steady increase in the number of product liability lawsuits over their Ethicon Proceed hernia patch. Recently, a new case was filed in New Jersey Superior Court by a plaintiff who faced complications due to the Ethicon Proceed Ventral Patch used during a hernia repair surgery in July 2014, resulting in revision surgeries and putting him in a situation of facing additional risks and complications.
 
Allegations include failure to warn despite having the knowledge of the associated risks and adverse effects, defectively designed product, withholding crucial information from FDA, and raising the chances of the risk of harm for individuals undergoing hernia repair.
