Hernia Mesh Lawsuit
Saturday September 13, 2025 — Hernia mesh implants have been associated with serious complications after surgery.
Patients continue to report adverse events such as:
- Pain
- Infection
- Tissue adhesion
- Obstruction of the intestines
- Hernia recurrence
- Mesh migration
- Perforation
- Multiple surgeries
Lawsuits are now developing against the manufacturers of hernia mesh alleging defective design and failure to warn of known risks.

Latest Hernia Mesh Recall
In May 2016, Johnson & Johnson subsidiary Ethicon issued an urgent safety notice and recall for Physiomesh.
The company warned that two independent registries had revealed a higher rate of hernia recurrence and reoperation for Physiomesh when compared to other products.
Accordingly, the company issued a global recall for the device and litigation is now underway on behalf of patients who suffered unnecessary harm.
But please note, hernia mesh lawsuits are not limited to recalled products.
Our attorneys are also reviewing claims involving mesh implants that remain on the market and are still widely used. These include:
- 3D Max (C.R. Bard)

Hernia Mesh Class Action Not Formed
Your claim for personal injuries will not be part of a hernia mesh class action lawsuit.
Rather, these claims are filed on an individual basis.
This means you will have your own lawyer to represent you and pursue settlement for the unique legal damages you experienced.
While a hernia class action has not been formed, your claim could be included in a “multidistrict litigation” (or MDL) depending on which product you received and the facts of your case. For example:
- C-QUR Mesh Multidistrict Litigation: In December 2016, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPML) ordered that all C-QUR hernia mesh lawsuits in federal courts be centralized in the District of New Hampshire (MDL No. 2753).
- Physiomesh Multidistrict Litigation: In March 2017, hernia mesh plaintiffs petitioned the JPML to create a multidistrict litigation for Physiomesh cases, as well (MDL No. 2782). If the Panel grants the petition, all federal Physiomesh lawsuits will similarly be centralized before a single District Court.
These MDLs are designed to more efficiently move large numbers of related claims through the pretrial process.
Additional cases are pending in various other state and federal courts around the country.
After a consultation, your attorney can advise you on the appropriate jurisdiction for your case, and how to best position your claim for settlement.
