The next bellwether hernia mesh trial is currently set to begin in May 2023. The MDL court selected the case Stinson v. C.R. Bard et al., case no. 2:18-cv-01022, as the third bellwether trial case in the consolidated Bard hernia mesh MDL. Judge Sargus scheduled the start of trial for May 15, 2023, assuming no global settlement of the federal Bard cases is announced before that date.
