Statute of Limitations
Iowa Code § 614.1(2) provides a 2-year personal injury limitations period. Iowa courts have adopted the discovery rule, delaying accrual until the plaintiff discovers or reasonably should discover the mesh-related injury and causation. No statute of repose applies to Iowa product liability claims. Iowa plaintiffs typically file in the U.S. District Court for the Northern or Southern District of Iowa before transfer to MDL 2846 or MDL 2511.
