Tylenol Liver Damage Lawsuit

Tylenol and similar acetaminophen analgesic painkillers are the leading cause of liver failure resulting in at least 450 deaths, 50,000 emergency hospitalizations, and another 25,000 treated for serious liver problems every year in the United States, says a report of the FDA. An overdose of the over-the-counter medication widely used to treat pain, cold, flu, and allergies is likely to cause toxicity that damages the liver and may require a liver transplant.

Tylenol Liver Damage: The Facts

  • The FDA allowed acetaminophen medication in 1951. McNeil, now a Johnson & Johnson subsidiary, introduced Tylenol, an acetaminophen drug, to treat pain and fever. It also introduced Tylenol Elixir, an analgesic without aspirin.
  • The manufacturer warned of liver damage from the combination of the drug with alcohol in 1994. This came after a former presidential aide underwent a liver transplant required after taking Tylenol with wine.
  • In 1997, label changes on Tylenol warned of serious health risks in children following the intake of more than the prescribed the drug dosage.
  • In 1997 and 2002, an expert panel advised FDA to mandate all acetaminophen drugs to carry warnings for liver damage risk. However, the regulator warned of liver damage from Tylenol-alcohol combination only.
  • The manufacturer added the liver damage warning to Tylenol in 2004 and the FDA converted it into a black box warning in June 2009 after a working group set up by it hinted at the high risk of liver failure caused by drug overdose and suggested limiting capacity of pills to 325 mg each.
  • In January 2011, the FDA asked the manufacturer not to sell acetaminophen exceeding 325 mg per pill or tablet after January 2014. It also added boxed warnings on all acetaminophen medications for liver failure and allergic skin reactions similar to Stevens-Johnson Syndrome.
  • Two months later, the Justice Department overtook its three Tylenol plants and began investigation against Johnson & Johnson for violation of standard manufacturing practices.
  • In May 2011, the Consumer Healthcare Products Association termed announcement by over-the-counter drug manufactures to not include acetaminophen in infant drops as a ploy to reduce dosage errors.
  • Johnson & Johnson advised not to take Tylenol cumulative dosage beyond 3,000 mg per day.

Tylenol Liver Damage Studies

In July 2012, a study published in the Liver Transplantation journal uncovered how those suffering from liver problems caused by acetaminophen, the main element of painkiller Tylenol, were more likely to have worse mental and physical health than those with liver failure from other reasons. Attributed to scholars from Michigan University, the research report analyzed case studies of over 280 patients to find out lower quality of life for those with Tylenol liver problem. A 2011 British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology report also linked overdose of the drug to liver damage. Based on the study of 663 acetaminophen liver injury cases, it warned of possible death or liver failure from “staggered doses” of Tylenol.

A New York newspaper published a report in August 2013 highlighting how teens were increasingly turning to over-the-counter Tylenol to commit suicide through liver damage. This comes on the heel of another report on the Social Science Research Network that accused the manufacturer of promoting its drug through kickbacks to doctors.

Tylenol Recalls

  • In 2008, Johnson & Johnson made a secret attempt to withdraw a Tylenol product from the market through contractors. Later, the disclosure led to Tylenol lawsuits.
  • Recalled Children’s Tylenol for bacterial contamination in September 2009
  • Two recalls of Tylenol Caplets for arthritis pain twice in the next two months.
  • Tylenol recalled gain in January and June 2010 citing manufacturing and labeling problems.
  • Children’s Tylenol recalled in March, April, and July 2010 because of quality issues.
  • In November 2010, the next recall of Tylenol Cold Multi-Symptom Liquid was done citing labeling error.
  • A number of Tylenol products were withdrawn for contamination.
  • Another recall in June 2011 citing gastrointestinal problems linked to Tylenol.
  • Dosing problems led to February 2012 Infants’ Tylenol recall.

Tylenol Lawsuits

Over 100 Tylenol lawsuits are pending for trial in various federal courts. In February 1993, Antonio Benedi, a special assistant to President George W. Bush, went into coma after liver failure, attributed to his taking of Tylenol for flu treatment. The 37 year old then had to undergo a liver transplant for survival. He won $8.8 million in damages after the court ruled in his Tylenol lawsuit favor, claiming that the manufacturer failed to inform patients about liver damage linked to the drug.

In January 2012, parents of a toddler who died because of Tylenol-induced liver failure sued Johnson & Johnson following disclosure of the secret market recall of the medication. This was followed by another Tylenol lawsuit in June by a Florida woman who suffered liver failure within a few days of taking the drug. Though her dosage was within the limit prescribed, Tylenol toxicity led to her liver damage. A Massachusetts woman had liver failure within two weeks of treatment with Tylenol.

    As attorneys that represent women who received transvaginal mesh devices and/or transvaginal slings, we wanted to advise that a West Virginia judge has declared a mistrial in a transvaginal mesh case involving the C.R. Bard Avaulta Pelvic Repair Kit.  The mistrial came on the second day of the case involving C.R. Bard based upon the plaintiff’s expert witness’s statements concerning Bard’s marketing of the device.  Judge Joseph R. Goodwin of the United States District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia halted the trial involving gynecological expert Dr. Lennox Hoyte.  In a July 4 order, Judge Goodwin had already ruled that while Hoyte is qualified to opine on the design of the Avaulta mesh products, Hoyte is not permitted to testify as to marketing of the products, ruling it is “not an appropriate subject of expert testimony and will not assist the jury.”  It should be noted that the Avaulta products were designed to lift the pelvic organs via a strip of mesh which adheres to the vaginal tissue for reinforcement and stability.  The Avaulta products contain either a synthetic polypropylene mesh or a biologic mesh comprised of various materials.

    In similar news, the same judge has refused to reconsider his granting of a partial summary judgment to C.R. Bard, Inc. on failure to warn claims brought in an Avaulta pelvic repair case finding the plaintiff did not make the requisite showing that at the time the product left Bard’s control, it failed to contain adequate warnings or instructions.  In his ruling, the Court found that because plaintiff’s doctor did not review the instructions for use on the Avaulta product, no amount of warnings would have caused the doctor to act any differently.  Further, the Court concluded that the plaintiff failed to show a genuine issue of material fact on the issue of causation finding that the plaintiff never directly responded to Bard’s argument that her doctor simply never read the product’s instructions for use.  The Court similarly denied the plaintiff’s request for a Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 54(b) Order, which would have allowed the plaintiff to immediately appeal the Court’s ruling.

      Transvaginal Mesh Lawyer Spaks on Injuries to Women from Mesh Erosion

      As attorneys that represent women that received transvaginal mesh devices that are deemed to be defective, we wanted to report to you that a Pennsylvania federal judge has refused to dismiss breach of express warranty and fraudulent misrepresentation claims brought against Ethicon, Inc. and Johnson and Johnson in connection with their prolene TM soft mesh, ruling a cause of action under state law.  Nevertheless, in her order, Judge Jan E. DuBois of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania dismissed Pennsylvania law state claims under strict liability reasoning that such claims are not permitted against a device maker based upon design defect or failure to warn.

      Specifically as to the breach of express warranty claim, the Court noted that Pennsylvania federal courts are split as to whether a breach of express warranty is a viable cause of action against medical device makers.  “While the reasoning of comment came and prevents certain warranties or promises from being implied by law, there is no basis for declining to enforce the contractual promise expressly and voluntarily made by a manufacturer of prescription drugs or devices,” the Judge explained.  Additionally, the Court denied the motion to dismiss fraudulent misrepresentation claims, holding that “a seller of prescription drugs must not only warn of risks of which he reasonably should have knowledge but also risks of which he did, in fact, have knowledge.”

        Fentanyl Patch Lawyer Offering Free Case Evaluations for Serious Injuries and Death

        FREE CASE EVALUATION: 1-800-632-1404

        The Duragesic fentanyl patch manufactured by the Johnson & Johnson subsidiary Alza Corporation and Janssen Pharmaceuticals was the first fentanyl patch approved by the FDA.  However, there are now numerous generic versions of the fentanyl patch available to consumers, including those made by Sandoz (manufactured by Alza Corp.), Mylan Laboratories Inc., Watson and Actavis. The FDA has received hundreds of reports of fatalities linked to fentanyl patch use. The cause of these deaths can be due to seal breaches that allow fentanyl to leak from the patch (also known as the “fold-over defect”), malfunction of the rate-control membrane, and other defects. The FDA is currently investigating these deaths. Our attorneys are representing users in all fifty states who have been injured.  For a free case evaluation, call 1-800-632-1404.

        As attorneys that represent persons whose loved ones are alleged to have died via fentanyl patch medication, we wanted to advise that a Utah judge has noted that certain claims against Mylan, Inc. may be preempted under federal law.  In a July 25 order, Judge Ted Stewart of the United States District Court for the District of Utah found that plaintiff’s claims of negligence and breach of implied warranty of merchantability were adequately pled under Utah law and withstood dismissal.  The Court addressed the failure to warn claims noting that the Mensing Supreme Court Case of 2011 ruled that failure to warn claims against generic drug makers are preempted by the FDCA’s prohibition on changes to generic drug labels.  Based upon the Mensing case, the Court dismissed failure to warn claims.

        The Court similarly noted that plaintiff’s design strict liability claims must be dismissed based upon the clear authority of the Restatement 2d of Torts Section 402A.  The Court also dismissed manufacturing defect claims finding that plaintiff failed to allege any specific manufacturing defect of which Mylan’s product suffers.

        The Court, however, denied a motion to dismiss negligence claims noting that while the claims were “largely conclusory and devoid of factual development” they were sufficiently pled and would therefore withstand dismissal.  The Court similarly allowed the plaintiff to continue ahead in a claim for breach of implied warranty of merchantability, which was adequately pled following plaintiff’s complaint pleading that the product was unfit for its ordinary purpose, was not of even quality, and was not adequately labeled.

        If you have a loved one that has suffered death as a result of a Fentanyl patch, please contact us as soon as possible for a free case evaluation.

        If you were injured by a fentayl patch, you may be entitled to monetary compensation. Some fentanyl side effects include drowsiness, feelings of elation (euphoria), dry mouth, difficulty urinating, difficulty breathing, constipation, and skin reactions. Problems could be irreversible. Please fill out the form to the right or call us so that we can provide you with forms to evaluate your potential case immediately.

          Transvaginal Mesh Erosion Attorney Discusses Bard Verdict

          FREE CASE EVALUATION: 1-800-632-1404

          We are honored to have two women on staff ready and willing to discuss the facts of your case with you as often as needed.

          As attorneys that help women who have received transvaginal mesh devices, we wanted to report to the public that a West Virginia jury has awarded a plaintiff $2 million dollars in a transvaginal mesh case against CR Bard Avaulta Product.  This was the federal CR Bard, Inc. pelvic mesh case to go to trial in which plaintiff Donna Cisson was awarded $2 million dollars on her design defect in failure to warn claims.  The damages included $250,000.00 in compensatory damages and $1,750,000.00 in punitive damages.  Ms. Cisson’s husband was awarded no dollars for his loss of consortium claim.  CR Bard plans to appeal the verdict.

          According to the Complaint, Donna Cisson received an Avaulta Plus implanted in 2009 to support organs that were collapsing into her pelvic region.  She alleged to have undergone numerous surgeries to remove the transvaginal mesh product after she began suffering pain, bleeding and bladder spasms.  Cisson alleged that the mesh product was defectively designed and did not allow for proper adherence to the vaginal tissue causing serious complications such as vaginal mesh erosion and injection.  She also accused CR Bard of failing to perform adequate safety and efficacy testing on the Avaulta products before placing them on the market via the FDA’s 510(k) process.

            Trials Involving TVM Devices

            Johnson & Johnson Ethicon Transvaginal Mesh Lawsuit

            Over 10,000 Ethicon mesh implant lawsuits have been filed in various federal and state courts across the United States. A significant number of consumers who used transvaginal mesh implants and bladder slings manufactured by Ethicon, a Johnson & Johnson subsidiary, had reportedly suffered from severe and debilitating injuries. In June 2012, J&J recalled its Ethicon’s entire range of Gynecare vaginal mesh implants following a surge in side effect injury complaints and the FDA’s order for mandatory safety assessments.

            Ethicon Mesh Implant Products

            Ethicon, incorporated as a Johnson & Johnson subsidiary in 1949, has 80 percent market share of surgical sutures sold in the United States. The company manufactured and sold the following vaginal mesh implants.

            • Ethicon Gynecare Prolift, Prosima, Prolift+M Mesh Implants

            Ethicon introduced the Gynecare Prolift range of transvaginal mesh implants in 2005. It was followed by Prosima and Prolift+M three years later. The products have reported 15.6 percent failure rate, making removal surgeries frequent, according to the Journal of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. Overwhelming complaints of erosion and complications forced withdrawal of these products in June 2012.

            • Ethicon Gynecare Gynemesh Mesh Implants

            Introduced in 2002, Gynecare Gynemesh is infamous for getting intertwined with internal organs. It permitted body tissues to grow into it and remain intertwined, which required consumers to undergo multiple surgeries.

            • Ethicon Prolene Mesh Implants

            A polypropylene mesh, Ethicon Prolene mesh implants are more fragile in nature and their high plasticity causes severe complications and difficulties in users.

            • Ethicon Gynecare TVT Bladder Slings

            Sold under various names, such as TVT Secure, TVT Abbrevo, and TVT Obturator, the Gynecare TVT mesh slings were widely used for over a decade until cited for large-scale complications and problems.

            The Approval Process of Ethicon Transvaginal Mesh Questioned

            Like other vaginal mesh implants, many of J&J’s Ethicon mesh and sling products got the FDA approval through the controversial 510(k) process. The process allows introduction of medical devices similar to those already being sold in the market. Manufacturers of vaginal mesh implants saw it as a window of opportunity to bring into the market new products without adequate testing for consumer safety. Gynecare Prolift and Prolift+M mesh implants of Ethicon were approved in a similar way. The two products were later withdrawn from the market after the FDA wanted a detailed safety assessment and consumers filed vaginal mesh lawsuits claiming injury.

            Ethicon Gynecare Transvaginal Mesh Complaints

            The most reported side effects of Ethicon Gynecare vaginal mesh implants include,

            • injury to vagina and pelvic organs
            • vaginal infection and inflammation
            • mesh intertwined with pelvic organs
            • early mesh erosion resulting in complications
            • neuro-muscular problems
            • vaginal scarring
            • pelvic pain and bleeding
            • signs of mesh implants appearing on vagina surface
            • pelvic organ perforation
            • pain during sexual intercourse

            Ethicon Gynecare Transvaginal Mesh Lawsuit

            About 7,751 federal Ethicon Gynecare transvaginal mesh lawsuits are pending for trial at the court of Judge Joseph Goodwin of West Virginia. Thousands of such litigations filed against Johnson & Johnson, including 1,800 in New Jersey alone, are awaiting trial in several state courts. South Dakota resident Linda Gross was awarded $11 million in damages in March 2013 when the first of New Jersey state lawsuits went for trial. The plaintiff has a terrifying experience following the implant of Gynecare Prolift pelvic support mesh. Complications led her to undergo 18 additional surgeries.

            The plaintiff was awarded $3.345 million as compensation for past and future medical care, physical suffering, inability to earn, and loss of consortium. The jury also asked Johnson & Johnson to pay the client punitive damage to the tune of $7.7 6 million.

              Trial Awards Two Million Dollars

              Federal Transvaginal Mesh Lawsuit Results in $2 Million Award

              A West Virginia court has ordered C.R. Bard to pay $2 million in damages to a woman who suffered from complications caused by Avaulta vaginal mesh implant. The verdict is set to become a watershed moment for over 3,400 vaginal mesh lawsuits filed against Bard and have a bearing on more than 25,000 such transvaginal mesh lawsuits filed against AMC, Boston Scientific, Cook Medical, Coloplast, and Johnson & Johnson. The award also prompted Bard to settle one of the four other Avaulta vaginal mesh lawsuits scheduled for trial. In June 2012, a California court ordered $5.5 million compensation to a 53-year-old plaintiff in the first-ever Bard Avaulta vaginal mesh lawsuit.

              Donna Cisson, a paramedical staff from Georgia, filed a transvaginal mesh lawsuit, accusing Bard of marketing mesh implants that are unsuitable for human use. The plaintiff suffered vaginal injuries, infections, pelvic pain, bleeding, and a number of complications after the mesh implant eroded through her vagina. She underwent several surgeries to remove the mesh intertwined with internal organs. Her lawsuit was the first of thousands of Bard Avaulta vaginal mesh lawsuits selected for trial on July 29, 2013, at the court of District Judge Joseph R. Goodwin.

              Bard Employee Testifies Against Mesh Manufacturer

              The transvaginal mesh lawsuit attracted national attention following testimony by a Bard employee against his own company. Douglas Evans, who leads a team of engineers at one of the Bard’s manufacturing facilities, told the court that the company was aware of complications linked to Avaulta mesh implant since 2002. It came to the notice of company executives 10 years ago that the plastic used for making mesh implants was not fit to make medical devices for humans.  However, Bard continued manufacturing the transvaginal mesh implants without making the potential risk of complications public.

              The jury held Bard liable for the injuries Cisson had suffered due to Avaulta mesh implants and agreed with the plaintiff’s contention that the manufacture failed in its duty to warn about mesh implant side effects. The plaintiff was granted $250,000 in compensatory damages that covers her financial losses, suffering, and pain. Bard is also required to pay $1.75 million in punitive damages to the plaintiff.

              Other Vaginal Mesh Lawsuits

              Judge Joseph Goodwin, who delivered the Bard Avaulta vaginal mesh lawsuit verdict, presides over six mesh implant multidistrict litigations centralized at his court. He has been tasked with pre-trial consolidation of 8,967 AMC transvaginal mesh lawsuits, 7,751 litigations filed against Johnson & Johnson for Ethicon Gynecare mesh implant side effects, 5,232 mesh implant lawsuits against Boston Scientific, and 3,407 Avaulta transvaginal mesh lawsuits. The judge also mandated by the MDL panel for 118 mesh lawsuits pending against Cook Medical and 435 Coloplast bladder sing litigations. The latest mesh lawsuit award set the tone for settlement with Wanda Queen, the plaintiff for the second Bard Avaulta lawsuit to go on trial, for a unspecified amount.

              The first Avaulta vaginal mesh lawsuit led to $5.5 million award by a California state jury in July 2012. The Kern County Superior Court ordered for compensation in favor of 53 year old Christine Scott. Her case was also the first vaginal mesh lawsuit to go on trial in the United States. Christine was implanted with a Bard Avaulta vaginal mesh to negate stress urinary incontinence caused by a leaky bladder. However, the defective mesh device sliced through her colon and forced her to undergo eight surgeries.

              The biggest of all vaginal mesh lawsuit awards was delivered by a New Jersey state court in March 2013. Linda Gross of South Dakota was handed over $11.1 million in damages, which included a whopping $7.76 million in punitive damages. Linda underwent 18 surgeries following injuries caused by Gynecare Prolift mesh she had. The compensation is also one of the highest damages Johnson & Johnson is ever directed to pay to an individual plaintiff.

                Punitive Damages Possible against C.R. Bard.

                As attorneys that represent women who have received a transvaginal mesh device, we were delighted to see that the presiding judge over the CR Bard, Inc. MDL in West Virginia has denied a motion to dismiss punitive damages claims brought in four Bellwether cases finding that the plaintiffs have established a question of fact as to whether the company’s actions rose to a level amounting to culpable behavior.  In this case, the plaintiffs asserted that Bard knew that the mesh on design, collagen component, in poor size and density of the mesh arms created heightened risks that failed to warn or address these known risks; knew that the material was subject to degradation through oxidation and thermal processing but never warned about it and subjected it to thermal processing anyway; knew it was manufacturing Avaulta products using the material expressly prohibited against permanent implantation in humans but never warned of and concealed this fact; never documented any clinical study despite recommendations from one of its chief medical advisors to do so; and never disclosed the results of its animal testing, which revealed adverse risks and did not support the safety of material used.  Despite counsel’s request to trifurcate the case, the judge refused to do so but will agree to bifurcate the action as to the amount of compensatory damages and whether punitive damages are appropriate, and the amount of those punitive damages in a second phase.

                  Transvaginal Mesh Lawyer (TVM Lawyer) Comments on Case Against Bard

                  FREE CASE EVALUATION: 1-800-632-1404

                  Case Pending Against C.R. Bard Will be Tried.

                  As attorneys that represent women who received the transvaginal mesh device, we wanted to let our readers know that a West Virginia Federal Judge has denied the motion for summary judgment on failure to warn claims filed by CR Bard, Inc.  The Judge has found that the plaintiffs established an issue of fact as to whether the implanting surgeon was adequately warned risks associated with the pelvic repair system at issue.  The Judge held that the plaintiffs have produced evidence that the Avaulta products are exposed to thermal and mechanical stresses during the manufacturing process which causes the products to degrade; the manufacturer of the polypropylene material used in the Avaulta products warned Bard that the material can degrade during thermal processing; the pore sizes of the Avaulta products are smaller than the pore sizes that Bard represented to doctors and its sales personnel; and Bard knowingly designed the Volta products using material which it knew was expressly prohibited by the manufacturer for human implantation.  The court, however, did grant a summary judgment motion as to claims for negligent inspection, marketing, packaging, and selling, finding that the plaintiffs failed to offer any evidence to support these claims.

                  In the same case, a West Virginia Magistrate Judge has reopened discovery and allowed plaintiffs to question a CR Bard executive as to the company’s alleged use of a prohibited raw polypropylene resin in its mesh products.  The particular person is Roger Darios, the former vice president of research and advanced technologies for Davol a CR Bard subsidiary.  The court, however, did not allow the plaintiffs to depose a particular individual who does not appear to have any direct information about the use of the alleged prohibited substance in a person’s body.

                  Finally, in the CR Bard case, a judge denied CR Bard’s motion to seal plaintiffs’ exhibits in the pelvic mesh MDL finding that the exhibits do not contain confidential proprietary information that would reveal its trade secrets to competitors.  The court applauded the importance of the first amendment and public access to courts and held that exhibits at issue were filed by the plaintiffs in support of a response to Daubert motions and motions for partial summary judgment.  These included internal company emails and the like which the court found did not contain confidential and proprietary business information.

                    TVM Settlement Involving AMS

                    Transvaginal Mesh Lawsuit: AMC Pays Millions To Settle Litigations Prior to Trial

                    American Medical Systems (AMS) has reportedly agreed to pay $55 million to settle a number of transvaginal mesh implant lawsuits filed against it. The disclosure made public on June 20, 2013, during an SEC filing by Endo Health Solutions, Inc. – the parent company of AMS – indicates that it had settled only a few of thousands of lawsuits awaiting trial. AMS faces close to 8,000 transvaginal mesh implant lawsuits, including class actions, filed in various U.S. courts.

                    A leader in offering pelvic health solutions, AMS manufactures Perigee and Apogee vault suspension systems, BioArc and In-Fast Ultrs vaginal mesh implants, Elevate prolapsed repair systems, and other bladder neck support systems. It also produces and distributes SPARC, MiniArc, and Monarc pelvic slings. Its mesh devices have been subject of intense speculation following widespread complaints linking them to early erosion, infections, and range of complications in users. While more than 6,000 transvaginal mesh implant lawsuits have been centralized for pre- trial consolidation at a West Virginia federal court, hundreds more are being filed following extensive media focus on side effects of mesh implants.

                    Transvaginal Mesh Lawsuit: What Went Wrong With Mesh Implants

                    Prescribed for the treatment of pelvic prolapse and urinary inconsistency, transvaginal mesh implants lead to a number of health complications in users. The FDA MedWatch system received thousands of adverse event reports after the federal regulator made its first public acknowledgement about large-scale problems with these mesh implants. This was followed by a spate of studies and research reports that put spotlight on complications caused by side effects of transvaginal mesh implants.

                    In 2008, the FDA initiated a comprehensive review of all transvaginal mesh implants done since 1996. The interim report presented in 2010 highlighted mesh erosion, vaginal problems, inflammation and infections, device failure, pelvic organ perforations, and a number of other complications. Following huge public outcry over the 510(k) fast track approval process that allows products to skip rigorous testing, the FDA has ordered for comprehensive safety assessment of all transvaginal mesh implants available in the market.

                    According to the latest research findings of Russian scholars, vaginal mesh implants should not be used until there is significant pelvic prolapse without any alternative treatment. The paper made public at Milan European Association of Urology in March 2013 listed as many as 30 serious injuries that these mesh implants can cause. Researchers interviewed 600 mesh users and found that over 22 percent of them have one or more of these listed injuries.

                    A Mayo Clinic study first reported in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology in September 2012 highlighted the risk of pelvic fibrosis, high morbidity rate, and uterus damage due to the transvaginal mesh implants. While use of polypropylene, a plastic, in these devices is reported to cause pelvic fibrosis, mesh implant or removal surgeries put users at the risk of uterus damage. Two years ago, a report in the Obstetrics & Gynecology journal had claimed that transvaginal mesh implants did not offer any significant benefit compared to available treatment options.

                    Earlier in December 2011, an advisory issued by the Committee on Gynecologic Practice asked U.S.-based gynecologists, urologists, and obstetricians to reconsider prescribing transvaginal mesh implants because of high rate of premature failure and complications associated with these devices.

                    Transvaginal Mesh Litigation

                    More than 20,000 transvaginal mesh implant lawsuits have been filed in the United States. West Virginia Southern District Court Judge Joseph R. Goodwin has been entrusted with six separate multidistrict litigations by the Federal MDL Panel. It includes 6,028 AMS transvaginal mesh lawsuits, 5,763 Ethicon Gynecare mesh lawsuits filed against Johnson & Johnson, 3,557 Boston Scientific transvaginal mesh lawsuits, 2,938 Bard transvaginal mesh lawsuits, and 320 litigations against Coloplast. While the majority of these litigations are product liability lawsuits filed against manufacturers for selling defective products, a few of these have also questioned the fast track approval of these products by the FDA through its 510(k) process without trial.

                    In February 2012, a transvaginal mesh lawsuit filed in a New Jersey state court against Johnson & Johnson led to $11.1 million in damages awarded to a South Dakota woman. The plaintiff suffered from complications after the Ethicon Gynecare vaginal mesh she had perforated her vagina and caused severe infections. She underwent 18 surgeries because the injuries caused. The first of Bard Avaulta mesh implant lawsuit also resulted in $5.5 million compensation for a California woman in July 2012.

                    Do You Qualify for a Transvaginal Mesh Lawsuit?

                    Recently, the public has become aware of serious health complications suffered by women after undergoing surgery for pelvic organ prolapse (POP) or stress urinary incontinence (SUI) with transvaginal mesh devices. According to the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA), between January 2008 and December 2010, there were nearly 3,000 adverse event reports involving transvaginal mesh devices. Specifically, there were 1,503 reports of complications involving POP repair and 1,371 reports linked to surgery for SUI. Our team of lawyers are representing women who experienced both complications.

                    Side effects reported in transvaginal mesh recipients include:

                    • Infections
                    • Internal bleeding
                    • Vaginal scar tissue
                    • Vaginal wall narrowing
                    • Painful urination
                    • Fistulas
                    • Mesh shrinkage
                    • Mesh migration
                    • Urinary problems
                    • Punctures to the bladder, blood vessels, bowels or other organs in the lower abdomen
                    • Mesh erosion into the vagina, bladder, intestines, and uterus
                    • Pain
                    • Painful sexual intercourse for both partners
                    • Recurrence of incontinence
                    • Recurrence of both POP and SUI, or both

                    Numerous lawsuits have been filed over these complications, in part because studies have shown that transvaginal mesh offers no real benefit over safer, more traditional methods of treatment. Making matters worse, in many cases the POP or SUI the implant was supposed to fix in the first place returns. Transvaginal mesh manufacturers took advantage of the FDA’s highly criticized 510(k) approval process, which allows medical devices to be sold on the market without ever being safety tested in humans. Now, thousands of innocent women are paying the price.

                    Our team of attorneys is reviewing case evaluations for women across the country who have received TVM and TVT products from manufactures such as C.R. Bard, Avaulta, Boston Scientific, Johnson & Johnson’s Ethicon, and Coloplast.

                    The Problem

                    In 2008, the FDA first released concerns about the safety of transvaginal placement of mesh. From 2008 to 2010, the FDA received three to five times as many adverse reports associated with mesh used for pelvic organ prolapse repair than what agency received from 2005 to 2007 (nearly 1,000 reports of adverse events were received from 2005-2007).

                    Many of these patients complain because of erosion or contraction of the mesh material (which has been described as being of a similar material as Rubbermaid storage containers).  The erosion leads to bleeding, severe pelvic pain, painful (or impossible) sexual performance and a recurrence of urinary problems.

                    In July 2011, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued an update related to what it called ‘serious complications’ related to the use of vaginal mesh for treatment of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI).  It is now known that complications linked to transvaginal placement of surgical mesh in SUI and POP patients are not rare and can require multiple surgeries to correct problems related to the use of surgical mesh. In fact, the FDA now says that additional surgeries may actually not be able to repair damage caused by implantation of the mesh.

                    In other words, the side effects of the mesh placement may be permanent.  These complications from transvaginal placement of surgical mesh include:

                    • Erosion of the implanted mesh
                    • Infection and/or bleeding
                    • Pain, including pain during sexual intercourse
                    • Problems with organs near the implantation site
