TVM Lawsuit: Australian Women Wins Big Against J&J
TVM Lawsuit: Australian Women Wins Big Against J&J
Introduction
Johnson & Johnson (J&J) lost a landmark case against Australian women who suffered debilitating pain because of their defective transvaginal mesh devices.
The three Australian women won the case on behalf of the 1350 women who had mesh and tape products of J&J implanted to treat pelvic prolapse or stress urinary incontinence. The devices resulted in making women suffer from severe debilitating and chronic pain along with psychological effects on them, as per the lawsuit filed.
The Federal Court in Sydney found two J&J group manufacturers and its Australian supplier involved deceptive tactics and hiding the risks associated with the implants.
Around four million women have vaginal mesh implants, and more than 150,000 developed complications associated with it. There are in all 7 MDLs to handle Transvaginal Mesh Litigations, which are being overseen by U.S. District Judge Joseph R. Goodwin.
