--- case_id: "3029" title: "Covidien Hernia Mesh Products Liability Litigation (No. II)" research_checked: "2026-10-28" research_level: "documents" screening_approved: false settlement_availability: "not verified" care_availability: "not confirmed" --- # Covidien Hernia Mesh Products Liability Litigation (No. II) MDL 3029 ## What this matter is about The federal directory identifies Covidien Hernia Mesh Products Liability Litigation (No. II) as a federal multidistrict-litigation matter. The case title identifies its subject; the index alone does not establish centralization status, detailed allegations, a medical connection, current rulings or settlement terms. Use the linked court documents to review those questions. ## Verified index information - **Full title:** Covidien Hernia Mesh Products Liability Litigation (No. II) - **District:** MA - **Master docket:** 1:22-md-3029 - **Judge:** Saris, Patti B. - **Index report date:** 2026-10-01 - **Report relationship:** Listed in this report - [JPML report](https://www.jpml.uscourts.gov/sites/jpml/files/Pending_MDL_Dockets_By_MDL_Type-October-1-2026.pdf#page=5) ## Preparation roadmap This is a preparation path, not a court schedule or a promise of a payout. 1. **Understand the matter.** Read the case overview and inspect its official sources. Keep allegations separate from findings. 2. **Explore your connection.** Use optional preparation questions. Interest in a matter is not proof of a claim. 3. **Build your record trail.** Product, medicine or device identity, if known. Add only what you already know or can verify. 4. **Make room for care.** Discuss health concerns independently of any legal claim. Clinical decisions belong with your care team. 5. **Choose professional review.** Start with your existing lawyer if represented. A lawyer reviews deadlines, jurisdiction and any filing or settlement options. ## Existing records that may help - Product, medicine or device identity, if known - An approximate timeline and existing receipts or records - Existing clinical reports and treating-team information ## Care information — separate from legal eligibility ### Existing surgical care and device records The FDA provides hernia-mesh information and questions for discussion with a health professional. Your treating team can review the procedure, device identity and ongoing concerns; this page does not recommend revision or removal. - Can I obtain my operative report and implant details? - How should I discuss the concerns I am experiencing with my surgical team? General information: [FDA: surgical mesh used for hernia repair](https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/implants-and-prosthetics/surgical-mesh-used-hernia-repair). This does not establish product-specific causation or an available appointment. Care may be accessed independently of a lawsuit. Provider fit, licensure, location, insurance, price and appointment availability have not been confirmed. Settlefy does not prescribe treatment, order tests, promise a cure or recommend stopping medication. Optional OPHealth: user-selected signed reports and measurements can be copied for private review. This is not a booked appointment, provider referral or ongoing medical monitoring. No record is sent to a lawyer through that connection. ## Research material and provenance ### Case MDL No. 3029  Document 220  Filed 08/06/26  Page 1 of 3 - [Original source](https://www.jpml.uscourts.gov/sites/jpml/files/MDL-3029-Transfer_Order-7-26.pdf) - Access: Retrieved and text-extracted; current legal interpretation still needs professional review - Retrieved: 2026-10-28T23:20:20.511Z - SHA-256: bba3131bd08c02b66f983ac091303be2c84fe8f3d31b78932c87811e94629cbf - Text inspection: first 3 PDF pages; attachments or later pages may not be covered. ### Case 1:22-md-03029-PBS Document 4 Filed 06/27/22 Page 1 of 2 - [Original source](https://www.mad.uscourts.gov/caseinfo/pdf/mdl/3029/MDL%20ORDER%20NO.%201.pdf) - Access: Retrieved and text-extracted; current legal interpretation still needs professional review - Retrieved: 2026-10-28T23:20:20.610Z - SHA-256: 16221c634f3b5df50b8e1f7c54e4c838c391aade0d4f8a49ecdd7edbf759f93d - Text inspection: first 2 PDF pages; attachments or later pages may not be covered. ### Multi-District Litigation | United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts - [Original source](https://www.mad.uscourts.gov/caseinfo/multi-district-litigation.htm) - Access: Discovered official link; live retrieval or full review not completed - Retrieval date: not verified ### Case 1:22-md-03029-PBS Document 35 Filed 08/18/22 Page 1 of 3 - [Original source](https://www.mad.uscourts.gov/caseinfo/pdf/mdl/3029/MDL%2022-MD-03029%20direct%20filing%20order%20AS%20DOCKETED.pdf) - Access: Discovered official link; live retrieval or full review not completed - Retrieval date: not verified ### Case MDL No. 3029 Document 81 Filed 06/06/22 Page 1 of 6 - [Original source](https://www.jpml.uscourts.gov/sites/jpml/files/MDL-3029-Initial-Transfer-Order-5-22.pdf) - Access: Discovered official link; live retrieval or full review not completed - Retrieval date: not verified ## Research gaps and professional review - Verify the operative complaint, later amendments and current court orders. - Verify any settlement notice, administrator, release, deadline and currently open intake. - Obtain current counsel-approved screening criteria; no eligibility rules are approved here. - Have qualified clinicians review any clinical mapping; general care sources are not case criteria. ## Updates [Live case page and source-update coverage](https://settlefy.com/litigation/3029#case-updates).
