Punitive Damages Possible against C.R. Bard.
As attorneys that represent women who have received a transvaginal mesh device, we were delighted to see that the presiding judge over the CR Bard, Inc. MDL in West Virginia has denied a motion to dismiss punitive damages claims brought in four Bellwether cases finding that the plaintiffs have established a question of fact as to whether the company’s actions rose to a level amounting to culpable behavior. In this case, the plaintiffs asserted that Bard knew that the mesh on design, collagen component, in poor size and density of the mesh arms created heightened risks that failed to warn or address these known risks; knew that the material was subject to degradation through oxidation and thermal processing but never warned about it and subjected it to thermal processing anyway; knew it was manufacturing Avaulta products using the material expressly prohibited against permanent implantation in humans but never warned of and concealed this fact; never documented any clinical study despite recommendations from one of its chief medical advisors to do so; and never disclosed the results of its animal testing, which revealed adverse risks and did not support the safety of material used. Despite counsel’s request to trifurcate the case, the judge refused to do so but will agree to bifurcate the action as to the amount of compensatory damages and whether punitive damages are appropriate, and the amount of those punitive damages in a second phase.
