In Philadelphia, the judge hearing the cases involving vaginal mesh implants has decided that Johnson & Johnson’s request to move the cases out of Philadelphia based on the grounds that the venue would be an inconvenient place to try the upcoming cases has been denied. The first of those cases is set to go to trial in December.
Boston Scientific Corporation agreed to pay $119 million to settle nearly 3,000 cases of the vaginal mesh products, according to an SEC report in April of 2015. Reportedly, there are around 25,000 cases of the vaginal mesh claims and have already been filed against Boston Scientific.
In May, Boston Scientific was ordered to pay a Delaware woman $100 million for damages associated with her transvaginal mesh surgeries. After two surgeries, she still has some of the mesh embedded inside of her. The jury in the Delaware case found that Boston Scientific had failed to warn doctors and patients of the poorly designed inserts of their product.
On November 18th, C.R. Bard paid $3.6 million in damages to people injured by their Avaulta transvaginal mesh. Originally filed in 2012, this was the first vaginal mesh case that actually went to trial, and the first one where the people were awarded damages as opposed to a settlement.
