MCL Status Granted For Some Ethicon Hernia Mesh Lawsuits
MCL Status Granted For Some Ethicon Hernia Mesh Lawsuits
Introduction
In a notice published on Wednesday, the New Jersey Supreme Court granted multicounty litigation (MCL) status to all the pending and future hernia mesh lawsuits against Johnson & Johnson and its subsidiary Ethicon Inc.
The announcement applies only to Physiomesh Flexible Composite Mesh; the Supreme Court declined to consolidate cases associated with similar devices. The multidistrict litigation (MDL No. 2782; In Re: Ethicon Physiomesh Flexible Composite Hernia Mesh Products Liability Litigation) holds more than 900 lawsuits claiming the mesh is defectively designed and is prone to break and migrate inside the body and cause severe damages.
