Hernia mesh lawsuit update

August 29, 2022- “Becton, Dickinson and Co’s C.R. Bard Inc subsidiary must pay $4.8 million in a lawsuit brought by a Hawaii man who said he suffered serious complications after being implanted with the company’s hernia repair mesh, a Rhode Island jury found Monday. Trevino alleged in his 2018 lawsuit that the so-called Ventralex hernia repair mesh, made of the plastic polypropylene, burrowed into his tissue, causing pain and inflammation and ultimately requiring corrective surgery.” Reuters

April 15, 2022-  A jury in the Federal Court system in the Southern District of Ohio issued a hernia mesh verdict against the hernia mesh manufacturer, C.R. Bard, in favor of the victim. Bard is a subsidiary of the parent company Becton Dickinson. Bard was ordered by the trial justice to pay a verdict of $255,000 to the mesh victims, Antonio Milanesi and his wife, Alicia Morz De Milanesi. Sadly, only $5,000 of those damages were for the loss of consortium claim of Mr. Milanesi’s wife. Mr. Milanesi asserted that the Ventralex mesh that was implanted inside of him was defective and unreasonably dangerous. The  Federal jury issued a verdict in favor of Mr. Milanesi on his defective design claim. However, the miserly jury declined to award Mr. Milanesi punitive damages. The hernia mesh manufacturer selected the first “bellwether” trial to go to the jury and won the trial. Mr. Milanesi’s trial was the second bellwether trial which was selected by the victim’s hernia mesh attorneys. The trial  verdict sheet (PDF), indicated that the federal jury ruled in favor of the Plaintiff on counts for negligent design defects and loss of consortium. However, the federal mesh jury denied claims for strict product liability, negligent failure to warn, negligent misrepresentation, fraudulent misrepresentation and gross misconduct. Mr. Milanesi’s hernia mesh lawyers filed his lawsuit in 2018. Mr. Milanesi had complications and side effects with a Bard Ventralex Hernia Patch. The mesh was implanted in 2007.  Mr. Milanesi had an infection and problems with a small bowel fistula. The mesh was removed in 2017 in a hernia mesh removal / revision surgery.  Evidence was presented to the jury that there was mesh that adhered to the small bowel. Mr. Milanesi alleged that there was mesh erosion and he required a small bowel resection as well as an anastomosis. Mr. Milanesi asserted that the complication lead to the mesh removal and severe pain and suffering.

1/10/22- The first Bard trial in the Rhode Island Hernia mesh consolidated lawsuit settled on the eve of trial. Over 5000 individual Bard lawsuits settled in Rhode Island. There are still thousands of cases in Rhode Island that were not settled. The manufacturer prevailed in the first Bellwether Jury trial, Johns v. Bard, in Ohio Federal Court. The first bellwether trial was a lawsuit selected by the manufacturer.

The 2nd Bellwether trial in Ohio Federal Court was Antonio Milanesi v. Bard. The second bellwether jury trial, Antonio Milanesi v. C.R. Bard, was scheduled before justice Edmund A. Sargus on Monday, January 10th, 2022. This hernia mesh lawsuit was selected by the victim’s lawyers. The 2nd bellwether trial is a ventralex mesh lawsuit.  As a result of a medical issue of the manufacturer’s lawyer, the January 10th trial was postponed. The postponement resulted from an unexpected surgery of one key member of defense counsel. The court postponed the trial to March 21st, 2022. The Antonio Milanesi v. C.R. Bard pertains to design defect allegations pertaining to Ventralex. The victim alleges that the design defect resulted in an infection and a small bowel fistula. The victim alleges that the mesh adhered to the small bowel, causing erosion. This allegedly resulted in a small bowel resection, anastomosis and mesh removal surgery. The victim alleged the Ventralex implant lead to permanent and life altering injuries.

Where are Ventralex mesh lawsuits being filed?

• Many Ventralex hernia mesh lawsuits are being pursued in Rhode Island State Courts. Victims who may have missed a Ventralex hernia mesh statute of limitations may enjoy a nearly endless statute of limitations if a Bard surgical mesh case is filed in RI State Court. Other victims are taking advantage of 12 percent interest on Rhode Island Bard Judgments, going back to the date of the injury.
• Other Ventralex mesh lawsuits have been filed in various Federal Courts across the county. “According to the April 10^th , 2018 filing, there were more than 50 hernia mesh lawsuits pending against C.R. Bard and Davol in federal courts around the country, all of which involve injuries allegedly related to the companies’ polypropylene implants, including the Ventralex and Perfix products. Plaintiffs similarly allege that the devices were defectively designed and caused them to experience debilitating complications and adverse reactions…A motion was filed with the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation that sought centralization of all federally-filed hernia mesh lawsuits involving propylene devices manufactured by C.R. Bard, Inc. and its Davol, Inc. subsidiary. (IN RE: Davol, Inc./C.R. Bard, Inc., Polypropylene Hernia Mesh Products Liability Litigation, MDL No. 2846)” PR NewsWire These mesh lawsuits were eventually consolidated into the MDL that is now pending in the Southern District of Ohio.
• Before the MDL commenced, the hernia mesh defense law firms requested that the cases be consolidated in Federal Court in New York or New Jersey.
• The Bard  polypropylene MDL was ultimately approved and is currently active in Federal Court in the Southern District of Ohio.( 2:18-md-2846 — IN RE: Davol, Inc./C.R. Bard, Inc., Polypropylene Hernia Mesh Products Liability Litigation)

Despite the known dangers of polypropylene mesh and the fact that Bard is facing thousands of lawsuits as a result of different types of polypropylene mesh, Ventralex mesh is still being implanted in victims by surgeons! Ventralex is a polypropylene hernia mesh patch. Not surprisingly, Bard’s transvaginal mesh and bladder sling products also are made using polypropylene mesh. Bard and its subsidiary Davol ignore and overlook the dangers and risks of polypropylene mesh. It is important to note that there is no Ventralex mesh class action nor has there been a Ventralex recall by the FDA. There has also been no widespread or global Ventralex hernia mesh lawsuit settlement. Will there be a hernia mesh recall related to ventralex in 2022? Victims should always be searching to learn about whether there has been a hernia mesh recall of the particular surgical mesh implanted in their body.
