Jennifer Dowell, et al. v. Atrium Medical Corporation
Case Number: 1:16-CV-454
Judge: Landya B. McCafferty
Court: United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire (Merrimack County)
Plaintiff's Attorney:
Defendant's Attorney: Pierre A. Chabot
Description:
Concord, New Hampshire personal injury lawyers represented the Plaintiff who sued on product liability theories.
People injured while using a defective product can seek damages via a product liability lawsuit. In New Hampshire, there are numerous claims that a person can assert in a case seeking damages caused by a harmful product, including negligence, strict liability, failure to warn, and breach of warranty.
"Atrium Medical Corp manufactures and develops medical device technologies. The Company offers balloon expandable covered stents and chest drainage devices, as well as local drug delivery, soft tissue and hernia repair, and vascular graft technologies. Atrium Medical operates worldwide."

The requirement that the cases share more than one question of common fact and law is
satisfied for the C-QUR Actions. All of the Plaintiffs were allegedly implanted with C-QUR™
Mesh, C-QUR TacShield™, or C-QUR V-Patch™ (collectively referred to as “C-QUR Mesh”).
The C-QUR Mesh is unique in that it combines Atrium’s polypropylene mesh with an all-natural
Omega 3 gel coating derived from highly purified pharmaceutical grade fish oil consisting of a
unique blend of triglycerides and Omega 3 fatty acids.
Plaintiffs generally allege design defect, manufacturing defect, failure to warn,
misrepresentation, fraud, and breach of warranty claims. Their claims therefore pose similar
legal and factual allegations, including but not limited to whether Atrium breached its duty of
care by failing to design and manufacture a reasonably safe product, whether the design and
manufacture of the C-QUR Mesh was unreasonably dangerous, whether Atrium warranted its
product and breached any such warranties, and whether Atrium intentionally, recklessly, or
negligently concealed and/or misrepresented information regarding the efficacy of its C-QUR
Mesh.
