Kugel Hernia Mesh Recall

On January 10th there was a Kugel hernia mesh recall due to defects that lead to serious complications. Many people go through hernia surgery and may have this defective material used in them. If you are not sure if this product was used to repair your hernia the attorneys at Mark & Associates, P.C. offer a free consultation and they can review your records to see if this product has been used in your case.
The recall is due to what is called a memory recoil ring, which is the mechanism that opens the patch. This memory recoil ring can break when placed in the abdominal space or move to a different location than intended. This could cause problems in your bowel or intestines. It is important that you are aware of this.
