The VaginaL Mesh Helpline is keeping women updated on all dangerous drugs and devices harming women. Many women were injured by Yaz  birth control pills and thought that they were out of luck in filing a Yaz lawsuit. Yaz complications  include: Blood clots, stroke, pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis and in some instances death. Many women with complications and families that have lost loved ones due to Yaz felt they could not file a lawsuit. But, new warnings issued in April pf 2012 has opened doors for an influx of Yaz lawsuits. We do not want you to be left out.

The FDA Ordered  Warning Label Changes For  Yaz Blood Clots

The FDA announced it was requiring a label change for  Yaz

On April 10, 2012, the FDA announced it was requiring a label change for Yaz which contains Drospirenone. This warning   announced that Yaz may be associated with a higher risk for blood clots due to Drospirenone. This warning date may mean you now have a Yaz lawsuit even though you may have been turned away before.

Yaz  Lawsuit Complications

• Blood Clot
• Stroke
• Pulmonary embolism
• Deep Vein Thrombosis

Blood clots from Yaz may be linked to an increased risk of stroke, deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism injuries to the lungs.

A federal Multi-District Litigation court in Illinois set up to handle lawsuits filed over alleged Yaz side effects has reported more than 10,000 cases filed. The formal case is known as Yasmin and Yaz (Drospirenone) Marketing, Sales Practices and Products Liability Litigation (MDL No. 2100).

Yaz lawsuit lawyers are accepting lawsuits from women who have have suffered these  side effects after taking Yaz. Yaz blood clots have caused premature death in young women. This is another medical product that targets women. Women must stand up and demand justice.

AMS Transvaginal Mesh Victim Says Engagement Is Off

May 4, 2013, 10:30:00AM. By Jane Mundy

Seattle, WA: Debbie says that her engagement is off because of her American Medical Systems (AMS) transvaginal mesh implant. “I haven’t been able to have sexual activity with my fiancé without both of us experiencing pain and I don’t blame him for breaking off our engagement,” she says.

Debbie (not her real name) had the AMS transvaginal mesh implanted to treat urinary incontinence. But that has now become the least of her problems. “For the past year or so, I’ve had chronic pelvic pain, which is getting worse, and recurring bladder infections,” she adds. “Because of the inability to have sexual intimacy with my fiancé, I am also suffering from depression and weight gain – this transvaginal mesh has caused my life to become a physical and psychological downward spiral.

“Not only is my overall health suffering, but I am also in financial straights due to all the time I have missed from work, getting tests and lab work and trying to find a doctor to take out this mesh – I don’t think that my doctor knows what to do.”

Debbie knows the mesh has to be removed but at the same time she is frightened at the thought of more surgery.

In March 2013, a New Jersey Superior Court jury awarded Linda Gross, a registered nurse, and her husband, Jeff Gross, $11.1 million in compensatory and punitive damages ($7.76 million in punitive damages) in the first transvaginal mesh trial in the country. (In re Pelvic Mesh/Gynecare Litigation, Master Docket No.: ATL-6341-10, Case No. 291.) At the six-week trial, Ms. Gross, age 47, testified that she had 18 subsequent unsuccessful revision procedures following her initial transvaginal mesh surgery.

Ms Gross said that the transvaginal mesh had made her life after surgery a “living hell,” and she has characterized herself and thousands of other women who were implanted with TVM as “guinea pigs” to the vaginal mesh manufacturers. Her attorneys argued that Johnson & Johnson and Ethicon deserved to be held financially responsible to the fullest extent of the law for their actions. The jury agreed, and found that the gigantic drugmaker failed to provide adequate warnings. Further, they determined that the TVM maker intentionally committed fraud against Linda Gross regarding the transvaginal mesh.

An American Medical Systems TVM lawsuit was filed on January 18 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia, Charleston Division (Case No. 2:13-cv-01083). This suit is just one of a multitude of lawsuits pending in the multidistrict litigation (MDL) entitled In Re: American Medical Systems, Inc., Pelvic Repair System Products Liability Litigation (MDL No. 2325).

Vaginal Mesh Helpline brings you the latest news in the vaginal mesh lawsuits. Vaginal mesh lawyers are in the process of discussing tolling agreements. Ladies, this is very good news. That means the statute of limitations for filing your mesh lawsuit could be waived.

What Is A Tolling Agreement?

There is a statute of limitations  effecting your vaginal mesh lawsuit.  This  means many of you can lose the right to file your vaginal mesh lawsuit  in court after a certain amount of time has passed. Occasionally, it benefits both the plaintiff and the defendant to extend that period of time or waive it entirely. This is where a tolling agreement comes in. It is a legal document that affirms that both parties wish to dismiss the statute of limitations. So far, Coloplast has entered into such an agreement and we have hopes that other manufacturers will follow. States with 2 year statutes would be up in July and the one year states are done. This opens new hope for the women who may have been left out.

At the March 21 status meeting for the five vaginal mesh multidistrict litigations (MDLs) pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia, counsel for the defendant mesh manufacturer Coloplast (MDL No. 2387) indicated that his client has entered into a “tolling agreement”—a contract providing that, until after an agreed upon date, the potential plaintiffs will hold off filing suit and the defendant will suspend the running of the statute of limitations. This is done by the corporations in the hope that something will happen during the agreed upon suspension time that is favorable to the ladies filing vaginal mesh lawsuits.

Other Mesh Manufacturers  Response To This

• Manufacturer C.R. Bard (MDL No. 2187) indicated that  they are  not interested in entering into such an agreement.
• Ethicon appears to be  is “willing to consider” a tolling agreement for mesh MDL Lawsuits.

It is important to file your vaginal mesh lawsuit without delay.

After July of this year many vaginal lawyers will no longer be accepting vaginal mesh lawsuit cases for states with 2 year statute of limitations. The number of lawyers still accepting cases for states with 1 yr statutes is minimal. States with 1 year statutes include: Tennessee, Louisiana,  and Kentucky. At the end of July women in the states with 2 year statutes may have a difficult time finding lawyers to accept their vaginal mesh lawsuits as well.

After July there will be a number of states left with 4 year and 6 year statutes of limitations. But, even if your vaginal mesh was implanted in one of these “lucky” states you should not procrastinate getting your lawsuit filed. If you have had your mesh implanted in a state that is not on the list below you will need to find a very creative and shrewd lawyer or law firm that will accept your case.

The following states have 4 or 6 year statutes:

Arkansas, Washington D.C, Florida, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, New York, North Carolina, Rhode Island, South Carolina and South Dakota, Utah, Washington, Wisconsin, Wyoming are all 4 to 6 year states.

A $3.35 Million partial verdict was handed down in first vaginal mesh trial.  This is good news for women who have suffered from a vaginal mesh implant. The Vaginal Mesh helpline hears horror stories every day and we applaud our first victory as the pathway to help other women whose lives have been ruined by the Prolene mesh. Vaginal mesh lawyers have been watching and agee this is good news for future trials.

The jury declared that  Johnson & Johnson should pay a South Dakota woman $3.35 million for failing to adequately warn her doctor of the potential dangers of a vaginal mesh implant made by the company’s Ethicon Inc subsidiary, and for misrepresenting the product in brochures.  It is the first verdict among some 1,800 vaginal mesh cases pending in New Jersey against Ethicon and J&J, and can potentially  set the way for  thousands of lawsuits and trial outcomes against  manufacturers of vaginal mesh implants.

February 25, 2013

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — A New Jersey state court jury has handed down a partial verdict of $3.35 million against Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) and its subsidiary, Ethicon Inc., at the end of the first pelvic mesh case to go to trial, Harris Martin Publishing is reporting.

In a Feb. 25 verdict, the jury found by a 7-2 vote that the manufacturers failed to adequately warn plaintiff Linda Gross’s implanting surgeon of the risks associated with the pelvic mesh and, additionally, that the device was the proximate cause of injury. By a 7-2 vote, the jury  was on our side.

We have been listening to 1000′s of women over months calling from all states and of all ages. Their marriages have been destroyed and they are suffering. The youngest was 33 and the oldest 86. We have heard from women, mothers, daughters, grandchildren , and friends for friends that are so debilitated they cannot come out of bed to call on their own. They need help from doctors and cannot afford surgeries to “Get the damn thing out”.

We demand justice on behalf of these women and are happy to see it is starting to happen. Can money change this? Atleast is will pay for medical care and send a message that manufacturers that use women to gain profits must end.

At the Vaginalmeshhelpline.com we are always looking for new information to help our readers injured by the vaginal mesh. Many women have had the mesh implanted for urinary  incontinence. We just found this online and are sharing it. The FDA has  approved  Oxytrol for women.  This is an over-the-counter Oxytrol treatment for overactive Bladder. Of course we suggest discussing this with your doctor.

January, 25, 2013 — The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today approved Oxytrol for Women, the first over-the-counter treatment for overactive bladder in women ages 18 years and older.

Oxytrol will remain available for men with overactive bladder by prescription only.

Overactive bladder is a condition in which the bladder squeezes too often or squeezes without warning. Symptoms include leaking urine (urinary incontinence), feeling the sudden and urgent need to urinate, and frequent urination. Overactive bladder affects an estimated 33 million Americans, the majority of whom are older women.

Oxytrol for Women contains oxybutynin, a medicine that helps relax the bladder muscle. Oxybutynin belongs to a class of drugs known as anticholinergics. It is the first drug in this class to be made available over-the-counter for treatment of overactive bladder.

Oxytrol for Women is a patch that is applied to the skin every four days. The patch delivers 3.9 milligrams of oxybutynin per day.

“Studies demonstrate that over-the-counter Oxytrol for Women is a safe and effective treatment for overactive bladder,” said Shaw Chen, M.D., Ph.D., deputy director of the Office of Drug Evaluation IV in the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research. “Women should make sure to follow the Drug Facts label and consult their doctor if their condition does not improve.”

Oxytrol for Women’s safety and effectiveness for over-the-counter use were established in more than 5,000 subjects participating in nine studies. Overall, results from these studies showed that consumers can understand the information on the label, properly select whether the product is right for them, and use the drug appropriately.

Side effects reported during clinical studies were mild and included skin irritation where the patch was applied, dry mouth and constipation. A leaflet with tips to help manage overactive bladder will be provided with the product.

Oxytrol for Women is marketed by Merck, based in Whitehouse Station, N.J.

The Vaginal Mesh Helpline has been the source for women injured by a Prolene mesh device bringing news support, updates and helping women locate a vaginal mesh lawyer and doctor. With women being the target of so many of these dangerous drugs and devices they have expanded their mission to contact and help all women with complications from the Mirena IUD. The device has been shown to have very serious complications including the fact that it may gravitate from position and become embedded in the uterus or a nearby organ, This results in uterine perforation and the Mirena must be surgically removed.

The Vaginal mesh Helpline’s new Mirena IUD Helpline has one goal. We want to reach all women with Mirena IUD Injury and help them file a Mirena IUD lawsuit and adverse incident reports with the FDA.
