Hernia Mesh Lawsuit
Over 350,000 abdominal hernia surgeries are performed in the United States each year. Unfortunately, during many of these surgeries, hernia mesh made of a non-absorbable material called “polypropylene” is used to repair the hernia. Polypropylene hernia mesh has proven to be a disaster for patients, causing numerous injuries, and in some of the worst cases, death.
As a result, several hernia mesh products have been recalled, and thousands of lawsuits have been filed across the country against numerous manufacturers of hernia mesh products. Contact our defective medical device attorneys at Hare, Wynn, Newell & Newton today to find out if you’re eligible for a hernia mesh lawsuit.
