Ethicon's Pelvic Mesh victory turns sour
Ethicon's Pelvic Mesh victory turns sour
Introduction
A small victory came in for a pelvic mesh litigation case for an Ohio woman. The case had proceeded to the damages hearing post losing out to the defendant Johnson & Johnson's Ethicon, last month. Judge Michael Erdos reasoned that there was enough supporting evidence provided by both sides' experts and the treating physician that the mesh was the cause of the injury which could not be denied or overlooked. Ethicon's Pelvic Mesh litigation cases are filed under MDL 2327: Ethicon, Inc., Pelvic Repair System Products Liability Litigation, presided by Honorable Judge Joseph R. Goodwin in the U.S. District Court of Southern District of West Virginia.
