A plaintiff in the Bard hernia mesh multidistrict litigation has passed away. William Mabry, who died in June 2022, is survived by his wife, Joyce, who is now pursuing legal action on his behalf. According to an October 15, 2024, court filing, Joyce believes that William’s death resulted from complications caused by the Bard hernia mesh as well as the underlying injury it was used to treat. As the administrator of his estate, Joyce will continue the fight against Bard, now bringing a wrongful death claim in addition to the original lawsuit for the harm caused by the defective product.
