As attorneys that represent women who received the transvaginal mesh device, we wanted to let our readers know that a West Virginia Federal Judge has denied the motion for summary judgment on failure to warn claims filed by CR Bard, Inc. The Judge has found that the plaintiffs established an issue of fact as to whether the implanting surgeon was adequately warned risks associated with the pelvic repair system at issue. The Judge held that the plaintiffs have produced evidence that the Avaulta products are exposed to thermal and mechanical stresses during the manufacturing process which causes the products to degrade; the manufacturer of the polypropylene material used in the Avaulta products warned Bard that the material can degrade during thermal processing; the pore sizes of the Avaulta products are smaller than the pore sizes that Bard represented to doctors and its sales personnel; and Bard knowingly designed the Volta products using material which it knew was expressly prohibited by the manufacturer for human implantation. The court, however, did grant a summary judgment motion as to claims for negligent inspection, marketing, packaging, and selling, finding that the plaintiffs failed to offer any evidence to support these claims.
In the same case, a West Virginia Magistrate Judge has reopened discovery and allowed plaintiffs to question a CR Bard executive as to the company’s alleged use of a prohibited raw polypropylene resin in its mesh products. The particular person is Roger Darios, the former vice president of research and advanced technologies for Davol a CR Bard subsidiary. The court, however, did not allow the plaintiffs to depose a particular individual who does not appear to have any direct information about the use of the alleged prohibited substance in a person’s body.
Finally, in the CR Bard case, a judge denied CR Bard’s motion to seal plaintiffs’ exhibits in the pelvic mesh MDL finding that the exhibits do not contain confidential proprietary information that would reveal its trade secrets to competitors. The court applauded the importance of the first amendment and public access to courts and held that exhibits at issue were filed by the plaintiffs in support of a response to Daubert motions and motions for partial summary judgment. These included internal company emails and the like which the court found did not contain confidential and proprietary business information.
