Parker Waichman LLP, a national law firm devoted to safeguarding the rights of victims injured by dangerous drugs and medical devices, has filed a lawsuit on behalf of a Texas woman who alleges that she was injured by transvaginal mesh items. The suit was filed on June ten, 2013, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia (Case No. 2:13-cv-11164) in the multidistrict litigation (MDL) entitled In Re: Coloplast Corp., Pelvic Support System Merchandise Liability Litigation (MDL No. 2387). Mentor Worldwide LLC, Coloplast Corp., Ethicon, Inc., Ethicon, LLC, Johnson & Johnson and C.R. Bard, Inc. have been named as Defendants.

According to the Complaint, the Plaintiff was implanted with the Novasilk-Synthetic Flat Mesh in May 2011, the Alyte Y-Mesh in October 2012 and the TVT Exact in October 2012. These devices have been implanted to treat the Plaintiffs pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI). The lawsuit alleges that these devices are defective and brought on critical and possibly permanent injuries. Moreover, the Defendants allegedly knew about these defects but did not warn consumers in order to protect their own financial interests. The Plaintiff is suing for discomfort and suffering, emotional distress, and economic loss, and is seeking compensation for punitive damages.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reports that the most typical complications connected with transvaginal mesh may possibly include:
