Victims are filing hernia mesh lawsuits after having multiple surgeries. And some hernia mesh settlements have gone through without patients having to go to court.
Why? Because these companies failed to warn about the layers of toxic synthetics woven into many hernia mesh implants, which may cause:
- Infections
- Chronic pain
- Recurrent hernias
- Bowel complications
- Chronic inflammation
- Adhesions and Fistulae
- And more health complications
Why are Hernia Mesh Lawsuits Being Filed?
A staggering 211,000+ units of hernia mesh implants have been recalled between 2005 and 2019.
Below is a sample of the Class 1 Recalls (meaning the implant could cause serious injury and death) and warning letters from the U.S. Federal Drug Administration:
- 2006: The FDA issued a Class 1 Recall for the Composix Kugel Patch manufactured by C.R. Bard.
- 2015: Warning letters from the FDA were issued about the Atrium Medical C-QUR hernia mesh implant.
- 2016: An Emergency Safety Alert was issued by the FDA for Jonhson & Johnson’s Physiomesh implant after thousands of serious injuries were reported.
- 2018: The FDA announced a Class 2 Recall for over 7,000 units of hernia mesh implants by the Parietex Covidien/Medtronic.
- 2018: The FDA announced a Class 2 Recall for Ethicon’s Surgical Mesh.

Many hernia mesh lawyers believe a hernia mesh settlement for Bard, Covidien, and Atrium Medical could be on the horizon:
- Johnson & Johnson – Ethicon reportedly resolved thousands of claims through a potential billion-dollar global settlement agreement.
- A $4.8 million verdict from a bellwether “test” trial was awarded in 2022 due to Bard’s negligence for defective design and failure to warn for the risks.
- Two more one-month bellwether “test” trials have been held scheduled for Bard. These trials may be the springboard for more settlements as the were with J&J – Ethicon.
But when settlements are made, law firms have little time to add more plaintiffs. That’s because firms traditionally agree not to pursue more clients after a settlement agreement.
Hence, time is of the essence.
FAILURE TO WARN
Allegations include failure to adequately warn about safety risks and the potential life-threatening carcinogens with AFFF Firefighting Foam.
PAIN AND SUFFERING
Medical expenses, both past, present and future, are often included in settlements. Get help today from an advocate since manufacturers may have failed to warn their product could cost you thousands in lifesaving treatments.
MEDICAL EXPENSES
You could receive compensation if manufacturers breached their responsibility to warn about serious carcinogenic side effects. Companies have a responsibility to provide safe products and disclose of hidden dangers.
LOST WAGES
Victims who have been unable to work due to adverse side effects caused by hernia mesh implants may qualify for compensation. Factors may include age, occupation, experience, and life expectancy.
