As Transvaginal Mesh Lawsuit Numbers Continue To Grow Strong Words From FDA May Have Affected Use

April 04, 2016 – – TheProductLawyers.com reports on an article published by the Regulatory Affairs Professionals Society theorizing that the FDA’s strongly worded warning about transvaginal mesh may have affected their use. The article states that a study done by JAMA Internal Medicine shows between 2008 and 2011, when the FDA issued their first warning about the possible effects of transvaginal mesh, that the number of procedures involving the device increased. This changed between 2011 and 2013 when the FDA released another differently worded warning about its effects. Between those years, use of the device in procedures dropped, according to the article.

The FDA has issued several warnings about the device, prompted by over 1,000 adverse event reports about it in 2008.

Women who have filed lawsuits claim that manufacturers, including Johnson & Johnson, C.R. Bard, Cook Medical, Boston Scientific and Coloplast Corp, knew about the possible side effects and defective design and chose to do nothing about it. Reported side effects that have prompted these court cases include organ perforation, mesh erosion through the vagina, vaginal or pelvic pain, inability to engage in sexual intercourse, bleeding, infection, vaginal shrinkage, vaginal scarring, and need for revision surgery.

Plaintiffs fighting companies such as Johnson & Johnson, C.R. Bard, and Boston Scientific have won millions in settlements as reparations for their alleged pain and suffering.

As these cases are expected to accumulate, lawyers at Banville Law are working to ensure that those individuals who have been treated with transvaginal mesh are able to explore their legal rights fully. Qualifying individuals may be entitled to legal action and substantial financial compensation. The firm is currently offering free case evaluations for interested parties.
