Canadian Kugel Mesh Class Action

Toronto, ON: A $300 million class action has been filed in Canada against the Canadian distributor of Kugel Mesh, Bard Canada Inc, an affiliate of the US corporations CR Bard Inc, and its subsidiary Davol Inc, on behalf of any Canadian who received a Kugel mesh surgical patch as part of an abdominal hernia repair and suffered medical complications or related health problems as a result.

Faulty Kugel mesh patches have been implicated in serious medical complications including perforation of the bowels and/or chronic intestinal fistulae—irregular connective tissue growths between the intestines and other organs. Patients have suffered internal bleeding, infections, and in some cases death.

The lawsuit alleges that the defendants negligently breached their duty of care to patients in the development, testing, manufacture and promotion of their Kugel mesh products. The claim has not been proven in court.

This lawsuit echoes complaints filed in complaints by thousands of patients in the US who have suffered injuries associated with Kugel mesh.
