According to Case Lists issued by the Court on March 21, 2015, at least 1,718 vaginal mesh lawsuits have been filed in the C.R. Bard litigation, while Ethicon has been named a defendant in at least 7,864 filings.

(In re: Pelvic Mesh/Gynecare Litigation, No. 6341-10; In re: Pelvic Mesh Litigation/Bard, No. L-6339-10)
“Our Firm continues to receive inquiries from women who allegedly suffered serious vaginal mesh complications due to products marketed by Ethicon, C.R. Bard and others. As such, we are not surprised that new cases are being added to these litigations on a regular basis,” says Sandy A. Liebhard, a partner at Bernstein Liebhard LLP, a nationwide law firm representing victims of defective drugs and medical devices. The Firm continues to evaluate lawsuits on behalf of women who were allegedly harmed by transvaginal mesh implants following surgery to correct pelvic organ prolapse and stress urinary incontinence.
Transvaginal Mesh Litigation
Bernstein Liebhard LLP partner, Jeffrey S. Grand, is currently serving as Co-Liaison Counsel for the Ethicon and C.R. Bard litigations underway in Bergen County. According to court documents, all of the complaints now pending in the two proceedings were filed on behalf of women who allegedly suffered chronic pain, pain during sexual intercourse, infection and other complications following implantation of the companies’ products to treat stress urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse. Mr. Grand was also a member of the Plaintiff’s trial team in a case that concluded in the Ethicon litigation in March 2013, with the jury granting an $11 million compensatory and punitive damage award to the Plaintiff, whose injuries were caused by the company’s Gynecare Prolift device. (Case No. Atl-L-6966-10)
