Hernia Mesh Lawsuit
The plastic in many hernia mesh devices can cause severe medical issues that often require revision surgery to resolve.
Why are people suing hernia mesh manufacturers?
C.R. Bard, Atrium Medical Corp, and other medical companies have created dozens of hernia mesh products containing the plastic polypropylene, which is the most common material used to create synthetic medical-grade mesh. Though this plastic is often effective in hernia repair, it has been found to create long-term issues due to its lack of flexibility, high adhesion risk, and its tendency to shrink.
Medical complications caused by these issues have forced mesh manufacturers like C.R. Bard to recall several hernia mesh devices over the past two decades. Affected lawsuit participants have since filed thousands of injury claims against these companies.
How to qualify for the lawsuit
Defective hernia mesh can cause a variety of problems due to issues like compromised structure or inadequate packaging. Though hernia repair surgeries tend to be uncomplicated, victims of defective hernia mesh can experience serious complications such as:
- Hernia recurrence
- Infection or inflammation
- Severe chronic pain
- Bowel Obstruction
- Organ perforation
- Mesh degeneration (tearing)
- Mesh adhesion
- Mesh shrinkage
- Mesh relocation
- Bleeding
At this time, victims must have underwent an initial hernia repair surgery and an additional revision surgery in order to be approved for the lawsuit.

Why do I have to get a follow-up hernia surgery to qualify?
This follow-up surgery gives your surgeon the opportunity to fully identify the complications that your mesh implant may be causing, which would give a potential attorney the grounds they would need to make a compelling case on your behalf. Most attorneys will require the patient to receive a revision surgery before they will take on a hernia mesh product liability case, which is why our team also requires that a follow-up surgery be completed in order to receive legal assistance.
