Lawsuits allege that certain hernia mesh implants were defectively designed, causing chronic pain, infections, mesh migration, and the need for additional surgery.
Surgical mesh is implanted to reinforce tissue during hernia repair — one of the most common surgeries in the United States. Lawsuits allege that certain polypropylene mesh products were defectively designed or manufactured, leading to complications far more serious than the condition they were meant to fix.
Patients have reported chronic pain, mesh erosion into organs, infections, adhesions, bowel obstruction, and the need for revision surgery to remove or replace the implant. Multiple MDLs have been established against manufacturers including Bard, Atrium, and Ethicon.

Hernia mesh MDLs remain active against several manufacturers, with settlements and verdicts already reached in some product lines. New claims continue to be evaluated based on the specific device and complications.
