MANASQUAN, N.J., Oct. 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Fair Rate Funding, a leader in pelvic mesh lawsuit funding, reports a jury verdict in favor of the defendant, Ethicon and their parent company, Johnson and Johnson. The decision marks the first jury verdict in favor of J&J in any trans vaginal pelvic mesh lawsuit to date.

Kowalczyk et. al., Case # DC-14-04220.

The case involved the use of the Gynacare Prosima mesh product, which was implanted in Carol Cavness, an aircraft mechanic who felt a pull in her groin while lifting a heavy object at work. Cavness sought medical treatment and was diagnosed with pelvic organ prolapse. The condition was repaired with a Prosima implant and surgery.
Cavness complained of severe pain and problems walking within 1 month of the procedure and continues to suffer from her physical condition according to the complaint filed 2 years later.
Cavness sued Ethicon, a subsidiary of J&J, for her injuries claiming that the company pushed an unsafe and dangerous product into the marketplace despite knowing that there were safer alternatives.
Plaintiff's attorney offered evidence of Ethicon's own internal memos warning of the product's safety risks. He also argued that there was a less risky alternative to the product's use and that the product was pushed in an effort to obtain more profits for the company with reckless disregard for patient safety.
The Prosima product and other pelvic mesh products have been removed from the marketplace.
Judge Ken Molberg, of the 95th Judicial District in Texas presided over the trial. And there was some apparent confusion as to the legal definitions contained in the jury instructions designed to make it easier for jurors to decide the case. Only 2 jurors reportedly found in favor of Cavness, who was escorted out of the courtroom after hearing the verdict.
"This decision is obviously a blow to plaintiffs suffering from mesh complications," said Paul Coppola, President of Fair Rate Funding, a company which specializes in advancing cash to plaintiffs prior to settlement. "It is encouraging that these cases are making their way through the system and although Ms. Cavness lost this round, victims of pelvic mesh can still remain optimistic that other juries will decide in their favor."
"We understand many plaintiffs need financial help," Coppola continued, "and we intend to give it to them so they can pursue justice."
