1st Kugel Mesh Hernia Patch MDL Jury Verdict

Derek Potts and the rest of the trial team representing the first victim of the defective Kugel Mesh hernia patch completed their four week trial in the United States District Court of Rhode Island.

The jury rendered a verdict finding that although the particular plaintiff’s injuries were not related to the patch, that the Kugel Mesh hernia patch is unreasonably dangerous and defective due to its propensity to change shape and buckle in the body. There are believed to be at least 100,000 devices currently in patients around the world.
