No-Injury Class 
Action 
Dismissed by 
Judge 
 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 
action dismissals, Judge Cavanagh ruled that the plaintiffs had no 
standing since they had demonstrated no injury. Thus, the 
plaintiffs could not argue consumer fraud or breach of warranty to 
win their case.
