Ethicon Faces Defective Design Lawsuit For Its Hernia Mesh

Introduction

A case was filed recently in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas by a woman who claims she suffered complications following a laparoscopic hernia repair. In this case, allegations are against Ethicon Physiomesh Composite Mesh maker, Ethicon Inc., a subsidiary of J&J, for a recurring hernia calling for a revision surgery, severe physical pain, and injuries. This case will be added to the federal multidistrict litigation (MDL) where other claims are filed before U.S. District Judge Richard Story in the Northern District of Georgia.
Ethicon Physiomesh MDL. Docket No. 2782 was created in June 2017 as a result of the centralization of federal Physiomesh Flexible Composite Hernia Mesh lawsuits and comprises over 100 lawsuits. Ethicon recalled Physiomesh Flexible Composite Mesh from the market in May 2016.
