Mesh Lawsuits – justice to victims of faulty vaginal mesh

Newly released information regarding vaginal mesh used in vaginal surgery provides shocking insight into women’s exposure to health risks.   Claims of serious complications after mesh surgery are surfacing at alarming rates.  This has given rise to numerous mesh lawsuits being filed.  You too can join the mesh lawsuit battle.

Right now the FDA is investigating numerous cases of mesh complications in relation to vaginal mesh medical devices.  Some claim that the approval of these vaginal mesh medical devices were expedited with less than ethical means.  If this is true, then there may be some serious monetary consequences for the manufacturers of vaginal mesh.  The side effects from vaginal mesh used in vaginal surgery have potentially life long ramifications.  This can be physically and psychologically devastating.

The FDA says there have been nearly 3000 incidents reported involving vaginal surgery and vaginal mesh and that number is rising.  If you have had this procedure in the past you may want to look into your options.

A successful lawsuit will bring monetary compensation toward potential vaginal surgery for mesh removal, your loss of quality of life and emotional stress.   Additionally, successful cases of this nature may force the FDA to reevaluate how it approves products for the safety of US citizens.  In fact, there is a consumer advocacy group called “Public Citizen” that is petitioning the FDA for a total recall and ban of all non absorbable surgical mesh for vaginal surgery.

Dr. L Lewis a co-petitioner with Public Citizen is quoted as saying:

“Once a device has been approved for release into the marketplace by the FDA, device manufacturers will do everything they can to sell as many devices as possible, irrespective of whether or not the use of such devices is truly in the best interests of patients… Under these circumstances, the interests of patients are subordinated to the profit motive and the interests of company shareholders.”

Mesh complications created by vaginal mesh malfunction are:

• Mesh erosion through the vagina
• Pain during sexual intercourse
• Organ perforation

The manufacturers of these vaginal mesh kits have a combine market cap of multiple billions of dollars.  Major manufacturers are potentially involved in these mesh lawsuits:
