Bard Settles Queen Avaulta Solo Vaginal Mesh Suit

| Aug 21, 2013 | Drug and Medical Device Litigation, Transvaginal Mesh

On August 21, 2013, after a jury of five men and four women had been selected and opening statements in the trial were ready to commence, the parties in the Wanda Queen vs. C.R. Bard Inc. Avaulta vaginal mesh case settled.  The amount was not disclosed.  Ms. Queen had the mesh inserted because of pelvic prolapse by Dr. Elizabeth Barbee at Wake Medical Center in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Bard has now lost two jury trials and settled the third before a jury could hear the evidence.  Bard now faces thousands more suits over its Avaulta product.  The next case against C.R. Bard Inc. for its Avaulta vaginal mesh is scheduled to begin October 8, 2013.  The stock closed up almost three dollars per share after last week’s $2 million Cisson vs. Bard verdict on news of the settlement, finishing over $114 per share.

Over 23,000 women have filed suits detailing their injuries from the mesh inserted in them.  We believe that ultimately the cause of their injuries will be shown to be the defects in the mesh products and the absence of appropriate warnings.  If you would like more information, check the video below, go to our website, or contact us at 1-800-481-1615 or email us.
