Allegations also claim that Bard knew or should have known that its Ventralex patch is harmful, but continued to market the hernia repair mesh as safe and effective. According to one complaint, “The Product was made of materials which are biologically incompatible with human tissue and react negatively and sometimes dangerously with a large number of those on whom it is used.” It continues: “The scientific evidence Defendant knew or should have known of demonstrates that the mesh is incompatible with human tissue and often causes a negative immune response in patients implanted with the Product, including Plaintiff.”
