Jurors in the Dallas court concluded that the TVT-O mesh device Ms. Batiste, 64, was implanted with was defectively designed. Her lawyers argued that she suffered pelvic pain after it started eroding inside her body. The jury did not, however, find in favor of Ms. Batiste's claim that Ethicon failed to warn consumers about the potential health risks associated with its transvaginal mesh device, and did not choose to award any punitive damages.*
"The verdict in this case represents a victory for the plaintiff, as well as other women who allege they have been seriously injured by transvaginal mesh devices," said Rochelle Rottenstein, principal of the Rottenstein Law Group. "We sincerely hope that this decision will be indicative of more to come as these cases approach the trial phase of litigation."
The Rottenstein Law Group LLP encourages those who believe they have suffered from the alleged side effects of their vaginal mesh implants to speak to a qualified transvaginal mesh attorney to learn about vaginal mesh compensation and settlements.* http://www.businessweek.com/news/2014-04-04/j-and-j-must-pay-damages-in-mesh-incontinence-implant-verdict-loss
