These trials, presided over by the MDL judge, serve as indicators for trends and potential settlement amounts for the remaining cases in the larger group.
The plan includes the exchange of lists of 24 cases each by July 1, 2024, leading to the selection of 15 cases for Discovery Group 1 by December 17, 2024.
This process may seem slow to those unfamiliar with mass tort litigation but is considered relatively fast in cases like this class action lawsuit.

In preparation for a case management conference, attorneys involved in federal lawsuits against Becton, Dickinson & Co. and its Bard subsidiaries presented different proposals for selecting a limited number of cases for early trial dates.
These trials aim to assess the validity of claims alleging defects in Bard PowerPort catheters, which are prone to fracture, fail, or cause infections.
Numerous product liability lawsuits have been filed against the companies, with plaintiffs asserting complications and injuries resulting from the design of the Bard PowerPort device.
Plaintiffs argue that design problems with the catheters have caused a range of injuries due to material degradation, bacterial growth, and fragmenting.
To streamline the litigation, the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation centralized the cases before U.S. District Judge David G. Campbell in Arizona into the Bard PowerPort MDL.
During a recent case status conference, attorneys submitted a joint memorandum outlining issues, including a proposal for a bellwether trial plan.
The plan suggests the exchange of 24 representative cases from each party, totaling 48, by July 1, 2024, forming the initial plaintiff pool.
After initial discovery, 15 cases will be selected for Discovery Group 1 by December 17, 2024, with each party choosing five cases and jointly selecting the last five.
However, there is disagreement between plaintiffs and defendants regarding the number of bellwether trials and whether they can involve multiple plaintiffs simultaneously.
Plaintiffs advocate for 10 bellwether trials to gauge jury reactions and consider consolidated trials involving multiple plaintiffs to gather more data for settlement negotiations.
Defendants contend that seven bellwether trials are sufficient and oppose consolidated trials with multiple plaintiffs.
Notably, defendants will not seek case dismissals based on federal preemption and acknowledge the sufficiency of plaintiffs’ claims.
The selection process for the 15 discovery pool cases will be addressed in future case management orders.
While the outcomes of these early trials won’t affect other pending claims in the MDL, they will have a significant impact on potential Bard PowerPort settlements and their negotiation strategies.

The Bard PowerPort Lawsuit is ongoing, and our team of PowerPort Lawyers are still accepting new clients.
There have been a total of 50 cases consolidated in the Bard Implanted Port Catheter Products Liability Litigation (MDL 3081) so far.
The Bard PowerPort Lawsuits were consolidated into an MDL just a few months ago in the same court (US District Court for the District of Arizona) as the Bard IVC Filter litigation.
A group of plaintiffs’ attorneys submitted a document to Judge Campbell regarding requested leadership in the litigation.
The plaintiffs selected Rebecca Phillips, Adam M. Evans, and Michael Sacchet to serve on the co-lead counsel for the litigation.
Dozens of other members were selected for positions like on the Executive Counsel or Steering Committee.
The document also included a request from the plaintiffs to allow this counsel to take control over how the MDL is managed.

The Bard PowerPort Lawsuit is ongoing and our lawyers are speaking to potential clients about their eligibility to file a claim.
In late May, a motion was submitted to the JPML seeking the consolidation of Bard Power Port cases into a multidistrict litigation (MDL).
According to the motion, the identified defect and injury associated with these cases involve the shedding of barium sulfate particles from the catheter surface, resulting in microfractures, fissures, and other changes to the polymeric structure.
These conditions contribute to several common injuries related to these devices:
A recent request has been made to the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation, urging them to consolidate all ongoing lawsuits related to Bard PowerPort product liability in federal courts.
The motion states that currently there are 10 PowerPort lawsuits pending in different federal districts, but it anticipates a significant increase in the number of cases in the coming year.
Despite the growing number of federal lawsuits against Bard Access Systems and other parties, all of which involve similar allegations of serious complications resulting from the design of the port catheter, the manufacturer is resisting the consolidation of these lawsuits under a single judge for pretrial proceedings.
The plaintiffs argue that the Bard Ports are inherently flawed in their design, leading to fractures, infections, blood clots, and other complications.

Certain Bard PowerPort Devices may be prone to defects that can cause serious injuries and severe infection in users.
Several Bard PowerPort Lawsuits have been filed against the device manufacturer.
Bard PowerPort Lawsuits have been consolidated into multidistrict litigation (MDL) in the US District Court for the District of Arizona.
The Bard PowerPort MDL (MDL 3081) is overseen by Judge David G. Campbell.
Multidistrict litigation (MDL) is a special federal legal procedure implemented to speed up the process of complex litigations involving many cases that generally allege the same injuries and claims.
MDL is different from a class action lawsuit.
If you were injured or suffered other Bard PowerPort complications, you may be eligible to file a Bard PowerPort Lawsuit and seek compensation.

Bard Access Systems Inc., owned by Becton, Dickinson and Company, manufactures and sells the Bard PowerPort Device.
Bard outlines its PowerPort as a special type of implanted port device made to withstand higher injection pressure than a normal port, which is ideal for fluids that require rapid injection.
This implanted port device allows medical professionals to easily access a patient’s bloodstream for regular intravenous therapy or injections of medicine.
The Bard PowerPort Device consists of two parts:
To use the PowerPort, medical professionals need to use a special needle (the PowerLoc needle) to “access” the bloodstream.
From there, medicine and fluids can be administered through the needle and blood samples can be withdrawn.
Bard PowerPort catheters are made of polyurethane material called Chronoflex AL, comprised of a mixture of polyurethane and barium sulfate.
This material in particular is what may cause a catheter to fracture and migrate.
Barium sulfate particles may break away from the catheter and cause the device to be more susceptible to fracturing and migrating.
The Bard PowerPort Lawsuit claims that defects within certain Bard PowerPort catheters can result in serious injuries and complications.
As mentioned above, certain parts of the catheter port and catheter tube may be susceptible to fracturing and migration, which can lead to severe injuries.
Serious Injuries and Complications Related to the Bard PowerPort Device include:
A fractured catheter can cause significant internal damage with the catheter pieces circulating in the bloodstream.
In all cases, there is a high possibility of requiring emergency surgery to remove any fractured pieces and properly treat all affected organs.
An infection could potentially cause serious complication as the body could possibly have more difficulty dealing with the pathogens that reside in the catheter.
If gone untreated, catheter infection can cause a number of serious and even life-threatening injuries.
If you or a loved one used a Bard implantable port catheter device and were subsequently injured, you may be eligible to file a Bard PowerPort Lawsuit.

However, attorneys estimate that the average Bard PowerPort settlement may range between $10,000 to over $250,000 depending on an individual’s damages and the direction of the litigation.
These estimates are by no means a guarantee of compensation in the Bard PowerPort Lawsuit; they are merely projections based on results in past product liability lawsuits.

A catheter fracture would occur when part of a catheter device breaks inside of the patient’s body.
In some cases, the catheter can potentially break down further once in the bloodstream, which could potentially cause fragments of silicone and polyurethane to travel the circulatory system.
A catheter often fractures due to the lower durability that results from constantly flexing or moving the muscles near the PowerPort.
This issue is known as flex fatigue.
Catheter Migration can be rare but is a serious complication with an implanted PowerPort.
Due to varying reasons, a catheter may completely dislodge itself from the Powerport and migrate to other organs in the body’s circulatory system.
This means that a dislodged catheter may travel to vital organs, such as the heart, and lodge themselves there, requiring immediate surgery and extraction.
Two reasons for catheter migration involves:
The manufacturer of the implanted PowerPort device (Brad Access System) may also be held liable for catheter dislodgement and subsequent migration, due to manufacturing errors of the device.
