Transvaginal mesh lawsuits (http://www.vaginalmeshlawsuit2015.com/) filed against Ethicon, Inc. and C.R. Bard, Inc. continue to mount in multicounty litigations currently underway in New Jersey’s Bergen County Superior Court, where Bernstein Liebhard LLP is representing numerous women. 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. This represents an increase of 169 lawsuits since February 21st, when the Court reported 1,700 claims involving C.R. Bard, and 7,713 cases filed against Ethicon. (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.
