Four Boston Scientific transvaginal mesh lawsuits have been chosen as bellwether trials, to commence in 2014. The trials could play a large role in determining the outcomes of similar mesh lawsuits filed against the company.
Boston Scientific is one of 6 companies facing more than 22,500 transvaginal mesh implant lawsuits alleging that the company released a dangerous device. Many of the women complain of severe transvaginal mesh complications, including tissue damage and internal bleeding when the body rejects the mesh.
Other transvaginal mesh side effects include limited mobility, mesh erosion, severe pain and discomfort during sexual intercourse. The products were approved under the 510(k) method, which allowed the companies to skip significant portions of testing by claiming the devices were very similar to something already on the market.
