Have you experienced pain, complications, or revision surgery following a hernia mesh implant procedure? You may qualify for a hernia mesh lawsuit in North Carolina.

Status of Hernia Mesh Litigation and MDLs
Thousands of hernia mesh lawsuits are currently pending in multiple federal multidistrict litigations (MDLs) across the country. These coordinated proceedings allow similar cases to be handled efficiently in pretrial phases. Key MDLs include:
- MDL 2846 (Ethicon Physiomesh) in the Northern District of Georgia
- MDL 2753 (Atrium C-QUR Mesh) in the District of New Hampshire
- MDL 2846 (C.R. Bard Davol Polypropylene Hernia Mesh) in the Southern District of Ohio
As of early 2025, tens of thousands of claims remain active across these MDLs:
- Over 20,000 lawsuits have been filed in the Bard MDL alone
- Several thousand cases remain in the Atrium and Ethicon MDLs
While some settlements and bellwether trials have taken place, many claims are still pending as courts continue to work through discovery, pretrial motions, and additional trials to help guide potential global settlements. Plaintiffs allege that the mesh devices were defectively designed, inadequately tested, and sold without proper warnings about risks.
IMPORTANT: Defendants in these cases strongly deny any liability and/or wrongdoing.
