Kugel Hernia Mesh Settlements Result in $184M Charge by C.R. Bard July 1, 2011 Staff Writers Add Your Comments C.R. Bard is prepared to pay $184 million to settle hernia repair lawsuits filed by individuals who suffered severe internal injuries that were allegedly caused by design problems with their Composix Kugel mesh products. The company announced the charge amount expected to cover any Kugel mesh settlements in its second-quarter report, indicating that the manufacturer has reached agreements in principle with a number of law firms representing a large portion of plaintiffs who have brought a claim. The settlement comes after only two Kugel hernia mesh trials have been presented to a jury, out of an estimated 3,000 lawsuits that have been filed in courts throughout the United States.

Hernia mesh lawsuits are being filed against Bard, Atrium, Covidien and several other hernia mesh manufacturers over mesh failures resulting in injuries and additional surgery. Learn More SEE IF YOU QUALIFY FOR COMPENSATION The first Kugel bellwether trial held in federal court, which involved a case brought by John Whittfield, ended in a defense verdict last April. While the jury in that case found that the manufacturers were negligent in the design of the Composix Kugel patch, they indicated that the plaintiff did not provide that his hernia repair problems were directly caused by or contributed by the negligent design. However, in August 2010, a different plaintiff was awarded $1.5 million in damages for problems caused by the Kugel hernia patch. The lawsuit alleged that Christopher Thorpe suffered severe internal injuries and a sepsis infection when the hernia patch broke inside of him. The Composix Kugel mesh settlement is expected to resolve the majority of the lawsuits filed against the company. There are about 1,300 cases in federal court that have been consolidated and centralized as part of a multidistrict litigation in the U.S. District Court for the District of Rhode Island. There are also about another 1,700 Composix Kugel patch lawsuits pending in Rhode Island Superior Court, where they have been centralized before Presiding Justice Alice B. Gibney. The Kugel Patch contains a memory recoil ring around the perimeter of the mesh which allows the doctor to fold it during the hernia repair. It is designed to spring open once in place to lay flat. However, design defects may cause the plastic ring to break, resulting in serious internal injury. Bard has issued three separate Kugel Patch recalls involving different sizes of their hernia mesh. The recalls were issued in December 2005, March 2006 and January 2007 Tags: C. R.

I try to work but end up missing work then losing my job I got a Attorney on the hernia mesh litigation but I lost there name’s and phone numbers can I please get some help in finding them it should be getting close to being settled, Please and thank you Face Book Aaron Younker Connie March 23, 2014 I first had a bard mesh implanted – I had two infections (cant think of the word) one the size of a baseball and one the size of a grapefruit – doctor did emergency surgery as I was septic – he replaced the kegul mesh with alloderm mesh – now I am in pain, deformed – life changing, cannot work. Here is my question: what are the serial numbers of the recalled kegul mesh ? When I first asked a lawyer, they said “no” that my implanted mesh that caused infection and absess – was not on the recall list – but that they were adding on as time went on. It is weird to me that mine wasn’t on the list, yet caused me so much trouble and if not for that mesh – well, I wouldn’t have the alloderm which I am in a lawsuit for that mesh – but really need to know about my kegul mesh – where can I go to find the serial numbers of the recalled product from bard ??
