Vaginal Mesh Implants Pulled From Market Due to Safety ConcernsSharp Increase in Lawsuits Force Manufacturer to Discontinue Ethicon Products
Hundreds of women have sued vaginal mesh implant manufacturers due to pain, internal injuries, and other symptoms that develop as the implants shrink or erode over time. Originally hailed as innovative, the products have been used to treat severe overactive bladder, incontinence, and to shore up weakened pelvic muscles following childbirth, menopause, or hysterectomy. The lawsuits claim that these products are now the cause of infection, internal damage, and other severe health complications. According to the FDA (www.fda.gov) The Ethicon vaginal mesh implant has a shaky history. The FDA claims the company marketed and sold one version of this product for three years without FDA approval. J&J claims that FDA approval was unnecessary because this product was similar to another the FDA had previously approved. Despite these difficulties, the matter was settled, and the product was eventually approved in 2008. However, a 2011 FDA report indicated a sharp increase in deaths, injuries, or malfunctions due to vaginal mesh implants. In addition, an FDA advisory panel suggested the products should be reclassified as “high-risk” If you have a vaginal mesh implant and are experiencing health issues, we encourage you to contact the personal injury lawyers at Goldberg & Osborne today.
