C.R. Bard was among the first transvaginal mesh defendants to face mass tort litigation. MDL 2187 — the Bard mesh MDL — was one of the six MDLs consolidated before Judge Goodwin in West Virginia. Bard's Avaulta Plus and Avaulta Solo (POP repair) and its Align and Ajust (SUI slings) caused documented erosion, pelvic pain, and sexual dysfunction in thousands of patients.
The Huskey v. Ethicon bellwether trial in West Virginia — despite being named for Ethicon — established important precedent affecting Bard and all mesh defendants on issues of failure to warn and design defect. Bard's global settlement of $184M+ resolved thousands of cases. Bard was acquired by Becton Dickinson in 2017, and BD remains responsible for legacy Bard mesh liabilities.
