#Transvaginal Mesh Lawsuit - Erosion, Surgical, POP - SUI Lawyer

Patients Say Manufacturers Misled Them

Women who filed transvaginal mesh lawsuits allege that mesh manufacturers "had a legal duty to ensure the safety and effectiveness of their pelvic mesh products," but instead provided patients with "false and misleading information" about the products’ effectiveness and safety.

Judy Conlin of Corbin, Ky. had mesh products from Boston Scientific and Ethicon implanted to treat prolapse and incontinence in July 2011. Judy and her husband, Timothy, filed a lawsuit against both mesh manufacturers.

The Conlins' lawsuit claims the defendants failed to warn, are guilty of fraud and concealed that their products could cause permanent and debilitating injuries.

Other lawsuits accuse mesh manufacturers of several counts, including:

• Actively and intentionally misleading the FDA, the medical community, patients and the public at large with respect to the safety and effectiveness of transvaginal mesh products.
• Failing to conduct proper testing and research to determine the risks of surgical mesh for use to treat female pelvic floor disorders.
• Failing to establish safe and effective methods for removal of transvaginal mesh.
• Failing to adequately warn of potential complications and injury.
