An Alabama woman recently filed a product liability lawsuit against vaginal mesh manufacturers Boston Scientific and American Medical Systems (AMS). She originally sought vaginal mesh implantation to treat pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and stress urinary incontinence.
Specifically, the devices named in the lawsuit are the Elevate Anterior & Apical mesh systems by AMS and the Pinnacle Posterior Pelvic Floor Repair Kit & Solyx SIS System by Boston Scientific.
Allegations surrounding these and similar mesh implant products (primarily those that were surgically implanted transvaginally) all suggest the same thing – that the mesh products were defective and that the manufactures knowingly kept selling and marketing these products despite their unnatural rate of failure.
The FDA just recently made statements warning of the risks of vaginal mesh implants and advised against having these products implanted. Advisory panel members of the FDA plan to meet on September 8th to further discuss the efficacy and safety of such devices.
When seeking recovery from companies that caused injuries, especially in product liability cases, it is important to contact a knowledgeable and experienced attorney. It is important that you contact a vaginal mesh lawyer that will not make you part of a class action lawsuit; one that will give you the attention that your individualized situation requires.
