Transvaginal mesh, also known as TV mesh or pelvic mesh, are medical products typically used to treat pelvic organ prolapse (POP) or stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Literally tens of thousands of patients who were implanted with the product from different manufacturers suffered complications such as bleeding, pain, inability to have sex, and infection among others. Further, reports of the product "eroding" into other organs often requires a revision surgery as a remedy.
As a result of these complications, lawsuits have been filed against multiple TV Mesh manufacturers and many have been successful in recovering damages. For example in 2013, a New Jersey jury returned an $11 million verdict against Ethicon for injuries caused by its Gynecare Prolift. Another woman also won $1.2 million in Texas state court against Johnson & Johnson. In November, Boston Scientific lost its first two federal trials, in West Virginia and Miami.
The announcement indicated that the "Company reached an agreement with certain plaintiffs' counsel" to settle a limited number of the claims and that settlement "was entered into solely by way of compromise and does not constitute an admission or concession by the Company of any liability or wrongdoing". Further, the plaintiffs' counsel entire inventory of cases is to be covered by the settlement agreement, "including a case in the District Court of Dallas County (TX) for which there is a judgment of approximately $35 million that is currently subject to appeal."
