Transvaginal Mesh Lawsuits Could Find a New Home
For years, the manufacturers of transvaginal mesh implants, a dangerous medical device, provided the medical marketplace with hundreds of thousands of mesh implants annually, despite the fact that an increasing number of women complained of painful, post-surgical effects, including pain, infection, and scarring. In 2008, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has warned against the risk of mesh contraction. And yet, mesh manufacturers continued to produce this risky product and offer it to consumers.
Finally, victims have started to fight back. As of today, approximately 4,000 transvaginal mesh patients. Although these cases have been filed in federal courts across the country, the U.S. Panel on Multidistrict Litigation is now considering whether to consolidate these cases in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia. This change of venue could spell a sharp improvement in the likely outcome of these victims’ cases.
