Plaintiffs claimed that they suffered economic damage when they
received an allegedly counterfeit surgical mesh during surgery. In
a dismissal that reflected several other recent "no-injury" class

standing since they had demonstrated no injury. Thus, the
plaintiffs could not argue consumer fraud or breach of warranty to
win their case.
