Many hernia mesh devices use materials that shrink, contract, harden, migrate, or fail - causing nerve damage, bowel damage, and cause the need for further surgery.  The hernia mesh lawsuits claim the medical devices are defectively designed and the manufacturers have failed to properly warn medical providers of the serious adverse complications and device failures.

The Poole Law Group works with Levin, Papantonio and we are accepting clients who received a hernia mesh and have experienced additional surgeries, infections, adhesions, bowel obstruction, organ damage, and/or chronic pain.

From 2005-2007, C.R. Bard issued several recalls involving its Kugel Mesh product as a result of a problem associated with potential bowel tears.

In 2012, the FDA sent Atrium a warning over its failure to respond and address numerous complaints of infections due to the C-QUR. In 2015, a federal judge issued an injunction, prohibiting Atrium from manufacturing and distributing the product. 

In May 2016, Ethicon voluntarily withdrew the Physiomesh Flexible Composite Mesh after studies determined the medical device was more likely to result in a failed hernia repair when compared to other similar products.

Ethicon mailed an urgent field safety notice to hospitals and doctors telling them to immediately return any unused products, and to stop using the product. Ethicon admitted that the design of its hernia mesh was one of the causes of the failures. At the time Ethicon issued the warning, the FDA had received approximately ten reports of fatalities associated with the Ethicon Physiomesh.

There are multiple brands and types (e.g., synthetic, geometric) of mesh that are involved in lawsuits.
