Certain models of Hernia Mesh used for the repair of hernias in both men and women are associated with increased risk of serious injury including mesh erosion and migration, infection, urinary problems, bowel obstructions, painful intercourse and other problems which may lead to a significant decrease in quality of life due to discomfort and pain (“injuries, conditions and complications”).
There are many manufactures and numerous models of surgical hernia mesh products. McKenzie Lake is pursuing litigation against multiple manufacturers, including Covidien/Medtronic, with respect to certain Hernia Mesh products, on behalf of all Canadians who have been implanted with these products. The lawsuits allege that the manufacturers knew or ought to have known of the injuries, conditions and complications associated with these hernia mesh products and they continued to manufacture, market, and sell these products without adequately warning consumers, the medical community, and/or regulators about these risks.
