July 25th, 2013 by Sandy Liebhard
The attorneys at Bernstein Liebhard LLP are urging all women who may have suffered injuries stemming from a vaginal mesh implant to take the first steps in filing a mesh lawsuit.
The nationwide Firm, which has successfully helped thousands of individuals harmed by defective medical devices and drugs, is committed to earning you compensation for medical bills, lost wages and other damages incurred by your injuries.
Vaginal Mesh Complications
In the absence of a mesh recall, our lawyers are actively pursuing claims on behalf of women who may have sustained one or more of the following complications:
- Mesh erosion through vaginal wall
- Infection
- Urinary problems
- Pain
- Recurrence of prolapse and/or incontinence.
- Vaginal scarring
- Bowel, bladder, and blood vessel perforation
- Pain during sexual intercourse
Our lawyers want you to know you are not alone. Thousands of women have already come forward to file claims against manufacturers including C.R. Bard, American Medical Systems, Johnson & Johnson’s Ethicon and Boston Scientific after allegedly suffering a diminished quality of life caused by transvaginal mesh.
In recent years, separate federal proceedings for cases involving products marketed by these companies have been established in the U.S. District Court, Southern District of West Virginia. Since 2011, court documents indicate that tens of thousands of mesh lawsuit claims have been filed in courts throughout the U.S., many of them in the following multi-district litigations: In re: American Medical Systems, Inc., Pelvic Repair Systems Products Liability Litigation (“MDL No. 2325”); In re: Boston Scientific Corp., Pelvic Repair Systems Products Liability Litigation (“MDL No. 2326); In re: C.R. Bard, Inc., Pelvic Repair Systems Products Liability Litigation (“MDL No. 2187”); and In re: Ethicon, Inc., Pelvic Repair Systems Products Liability Litigation (“ MDL No. 2327”).
Lawsuits alleging vaginal mesh complications stemming from products manufactured by Ethicon and C.R. Bard are also pending in state proceedings established in Atlantic County Superior Court in New Jersey.
Around the time women began filing claims against transvaginal mesh manufacturers was when the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) began issuing public health alerts about their potential to cause side effects. The first warning, issued in 2008, was prompted by the filing of several adverse event reports from women implanted with the device. The agency then classified the risk for pain, scarring, and other injuries as “rare” at that time, which was then upped to “not rare” when a second alert was announced in 2011.
