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.

South Florida has a very large population of seniors. The aging process causes bowel, bladder and uterus prolapse.  Post menopausal muscle weakness in the pelvic area causes urine to  leak from the body during activities such as coughing, laughing, exercising and general day to day activities.  Pelvic organ prolapse  typically occurs in older women because muscle and tissue groups in the uterus, bladder and pelvic region have become stretched and weakened. Women have an increased risk of developing  medical problems such as bladder , bowel and uterus prolapse after  menopause . We have been seeing an increased number of calls from women in Homestead, Miami, Miami Beach, Aventura, Hallandale, Hollywood, Tamarac, Deerfield, Boca Raton, Delray, Boynton, West Palm Beach and thru Stuart who have these implanted Prolene mesh. Many are over the age of 60 and  up to 89 years of age. Many have had a very active senior life which has been cut short by the pain and suffering of the implanted mesh that is falling apart. We receive calls from children and grandchildren and friends who are in the apartments of these suffering women calling us for help advise and support. We must encourage women to locate a sensitive doctor although there are few of these nationwide. Many doctors will not do the surgery on women over a certain age. They put it in but, none of them will take it out. It is very sad.

We have been able to locate a few doctors in Florida. We urge women in Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties to file their vaginal mesh lawsuits right away. This is time limited. The good thing is that the mesh lawsuits have been consolidated in one MDL either in West Virginia or New Jersey. They are now Bellwether cases and the trials have begun. As soon as determinations have been made on the sample cases the doorway is open for settlements. We urge you not to wait. It is easier then ever to file your vaginal mesh lawsuit

The first transvaginal mesh trial against C.R. Bard and its Avaulta Transvaginal Mesh product was set for February 5, 2013. The push is on to get Bard’s device and other vaginal mesh products off the market before they can do further harm. The Vaginal Mesh Helpline I watching and waiting with hopes of justice for the many women suffering from:

• Erosion of the mesh through the vaginal  wall
• Relentless  pain
• Exposure or extrusion of mesh
• Lower back pain and razor blade pain
• Painful sexual intercourse
• Perforation or puncture of the bladder, intestines and bowels, as well as blood vessels around the vaginal wall
• Recurrent Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP)
• Recurrent Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI)
• Urinary problems
• Vaginal bleeding
• Constant  discharge and infections
• Ruined lives and marriages
• Vaginal scarring and shortening

The First Stage of the Avaulta Mesh Lawsuit Trials

Dr Uwe Klinge, a world-renowned expert on the biocompatibility of surgical mesh, explained to a jury during a talk he delivered in 2005 to J&J. Dr Klinge told the manufacturer’s Ethicon unit that surgical mesh could only be safe for patients when used in the pelvis if it was very lightweight and had pores that were at least 1 millimeter in all directions. But Ethicon chose to ignore his advice. They marketed the Prolift vaginal mesh kit made with mesh that was larger and heavier than Dr. Klinge said it needed to be for patients’ safety.

We hope for a positive outcome for thousands of women harmed by failed mesh products. it is not too late for you if you have a Bard vaginal mesh. The outcome of this trial is just the beginning. File your mesh lawsuit today.

The Vaginal Mesh Helpline has been the leading support for women nationwide with vaginal mesh complications needing medical, legal and general information regarding the various Prolene mesh that has been  implanted inside them for prolapse and urinary incontinence. As awarenes grows it appears that pharmaceutical companies are targeting women for many of their medical products. Many of these later have new FDA warnings and result in severe complications and fatalities for women. The newest is the Mirena IUD In response to the need a nationwide Mirena IUD helpline has been launched as a part  of the dangerous drugs and devices harming women  awareness campaign.

Nationwide Mirena IUD T.V lawyer ads are starting to pop up.  With this education and awareness for women, we expect 1000's of Mirena IUD lawsuit questions coming  and the calls are beginning to come in to our helpline. Lawsuits on behalf of women who have had the Mirena gravitate from the position of implantation and become embedded in the uterus have begun. Perforations and other complications are the result of this movement of the IUD. Wome are once again the target and must stand up for justice.

The Mirena IUD  is a small, t-shaped, plastic  birth control IUD that is inserted into the uterus. It prevents pregnancy by releasing a low dose of levonorgestrel (a synthetic progestin hormone) directly into the uterus. Mirena was approved in 2000 as a contraceptive, and its approval was expanded in 2009 for the treatment of heavy menstrual bleeding for women who desire to use an IUD as contraception. In 2009, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) issued a letter to Bayer Healthcare Pharmaceuticals after the agency found that one of its Mirena promotions overstated the positive uses of the device and minimized its risks. Among other things, the Mirena FDA warning letter cited marketing claims emphasizing  Mirena will improve a woman’s sex life and help her “look and feel great." Bayer is known for it's advertising to women for freedom with their contraceptive products as we saw the same thing with Yaz. Yaz now has 1000's of lawsuits filed for blood clots and Bayer has begun the first round of settlements for Yaz.

The Mirena is a device oriented toward women and harming many women. Call our Mirena IUD Helpline today and speak to a female social worker. We are particularly interested in women where the device has moved, become embedded in the uterus and resulted in uterine or organ perforation.

The Vaginal Mesh Helpline is concerned about all drugs and devices harming women. We must have justice and the rights of women must be protected.

It seems like every lawyer in the United States is after a woman with a mesh. This is the hottest thing since the Slilcone Breast Implants and most likely bigger and more far reaching. Over 300,000 women in the United States have mesh implants. We speak to women of all ages. My oldest mesh caller  was 86 and my youngest was 28. The mesh  is being surgically implanted  for very simple SUI in young women after child birth. Women are ging in for a hysterectmy and coming out with a mesh. Doctors have been putting them in after the 2008 warning and are still using them today. The vaginal mesh comes under many different names and is marketed by about fifteen manufacturers. A bladder sling is a mesh and many rectoceles ad cystoceles are done with a mesh. Many women have more then one mesh. Some women still do not understand they have a mesh. They have complications and their doctors are sending them home telling them nothing is wrong. There is no shortage of vaginal mesh lawyer T.V ads, mesh email blasts, text message blasts and even direct solicitation. You have a $ sign plastered to your forehead and the pain and suffering can only be understood amongst a sisterhood of mesh sufferers. How do you choose a lawyer? They all sound so good. First, you must be sure they are not referring your case to another law firm. Any and all lawyers will take a mesh case. They will very rarely turn you away. Some may refuse your case for reasons you do not understand after they rushed you to send the packet back. You may call trying to find out what is going on and the response is less then comforting. Do not be alarmed if you get a rejection letter. That may be only one law firms opinion. Some lawyers are just accepting the easy cases. These would be  if the mesh has been removed. This is not always a correct decision since you need to find a doctor who is willing to remove it. This is not the easiest task. The doctor who put it in is most likely not going to be very helplful.

Some Basic Facts

There are leads companies out there sending email blasts and trying to get you to sign with them, They are not lawyers and will be selling you to a lawyer as middlemen. You must use caution.

We can help you in:

The mesh lawsuits are not class action litigations. They are what are known as multi-district litigations. You do not need a local lawyer. What you do need is an experienced lawyer with a history of helping women with prior drug or medical device litigations. You need a law firm with  concerned staff who have answers to the questions you ask.  The Vaginal Mesh Helpline only accepts law firms who have a designated female who knows everything there is to know about the mesh. This could be a female attorney or a mature woman who understands.

We only work with law firms who are experienced mass tort litgators. They must have prior experience with a dangerous drug or device that has become an MDL and has harmed women. All law firms go thru a vigorous interview process. We do not accept all of them. The doctors on our list come from our callers who have had a positive experience with them.

We are proud to have amongst our lawyer network two law firms that were involved in helping women with the silicone breast implant litigations. One of those firms is still helping woman in 2012.  The other was a lead counsel. Some women are still waiting for settlements on these disease claims today. This can give you a sense of  how long it takes and how lives can be turned around when a manufacturer puts profits over people.

Competition For Mesh Clients is Out of Control

Lawyers are after the women who have been injured by the mesh. The internet is over run and the T.V screen filled with vaginal mesh lawyer ads. You must take legal action but, you also need medical help and support. Most law firms will not help you get a doctor.

Call the Vaginal Mesh Helpline and speak to a female medical social worker. Get  support, medical help and legal help. You are not alone.  Read the comments from other mesh victims on this site. You must file a vaginal mesh lawsuit and that must be done quickly, The statute of limitations is running out in many states. For more information call our helpline today.
