Pharmaceutical Litigation

Bard Composix Kugel Mesh Patches have been recalled several times over safety issues caused by product defects. The patches, which are used to treat ventral hernias, contain flexible rings that allow large patches to be folded for insertion through small incisions. Once the patch is in position within the abdominal cavity, the ring pops open allowing the patch to be fastened flatly in place. However, the Food and Drug Administration has received numerous reports of defective recoil rings breaking and exposing jagged, sharp edges. These sharp edges can cause serious internal injuries.
