Pelvic Mesh Order $1.7 Million

Pelvic Mesh Order $1.7 Million was directed to Johnson and Johnson by an Australian Court to compensate three Aussie women injured by their pelvic mesh products.  In April 2024, the Court found that the medical device company misled patients and doctors of the risks of complications. This follows over a decade of litigation in the United States, Canada and Europe resulting in multimillion dollar verdicts and settlements. Johnson and Johnson is still selling many of the transvaginal and pelvic mesh products, although many medical device companies have stopped.

Transvaginal Mesh Verdicts

Most of these verdicts in the U.S. involved claimants with multiple complex surgeries resulting in numerous lifelong devastating injuries with juries awarding punitive damages. Note that jury verdicts may be reversed, remanded, reduced or appealed by the losing parties and settled for amounts much less than the jury awards.
