After the award, Bard moved to vacate the verdict or grant a new trial. Judge Goodwin, the Federal Judge tasked to hear the plethora of cases against mesh manufacturers, denied Bard's motion which prompted the appeal to the Fourth Circuit.
Bard's contentions on appeal were 1) the district court's refusal to allow evidence relating to Bard's compliance with the Food and Drug Administration's ("FDA") Section 510(k) product safety process; 2) the denial of its asking for the exclusion of evidence regarding a material data safety sheet ("MSDS") produced for polypropylene, a key material in the Avaulta Plus surgical mesh; 3) the court's jury instructions on causation; and 4) the constitutionality of the punitive damages award.
Judge Gregory wrote the opinion for the Fourth Circuit and affirmed the trial court's rulings in their entirety.

Literally tens of thousands of patients who were implanted with the product from different manufacturers suffered complications such as bleeding, pain, inability to have sex, and infection, among others. Further, reports of the product "eroding" into other organs often requires a revision surgery as a remedy.
