Plaintiffs have received millions of dollars in compensation owning to their expenses in medical bills and pain and suffering after they suffered from the complications of a defective mesh implant. Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in women are two common health concerns that needs transvaginal mesh for its treatment.  It is a net-like medical implant device which has been approved by the FDA but has been linked with plenty of complications.

Women can have leaked urine during physically engaging activities such as laughing, sneezing or walking, and the condition is called SUI or stress urinary incontinence.

•    Mesh erosion
•    Unusual vaginal bleeding
•    Infection in the bladder

•    Johnson & Johnson and its subsidiary Ethicon
•    Cook Medical
•    Boston Scientific

The FDA released safety warnings for patients stating that the meshes can have serious health issues that might even involve corrective surgery at times. Mesh erosion can only be cured through operative intervention. In 2016, the agency reclassified all transvaginal mesh devices as high-risk products and stated it needs premarket approval.
