California Could File Vaginal Mesh Implant Failures Charges
By John Curran
The California Attorney General’s office could file civil charges against Boston Scientific over the company’s vaginal mesh implant failures. It launched an investigation last month, which the company only recently announced to its investors.
It would have a lot of data to work with in its investigation. Boston Scientific faces thousands of claims from transvaginal mesh implant failure lawsuit attorneys. Of course, the company is not the only one facing problems. Every single manufacturer has dealt with bladder sling implant failures. There are a number of design flaws according to plaintiffs’ claims, most notably the use of polypropylene. The material can lead to organ rejection, increasing the likelihood of vaginal mesh implant failures.
However, there is a very real risk that the other manufacturers could face the same civil complaints. Considering that California’s AG office has numerous investigators, Boston Scientific could be forced to release documents that transvaginal mesh implant failure lawsuit attorneys may not have found. It gets worse. The SEC filing notes that “several other state attorneys generals offices” are investigating as well. All of this could lead to more evidence for bladder sling implant failures, improving the odds of success for plaintiffs.
It would be good news for them. Vaginal sling implant failures cause numerous problems. The pelvic floor can be punctured, and the medical devices can cause vaginal sling organ perforation into the bladder and bowels. Once the initial procedure is performed, it isn’t easy to fix if something goes wrong either. Surgeons note that numerous revision procedures are often necessary, and the success rate for women in just getting back to their original condition is fairly low.
The result of these vaginal mesh implant failure side effects has led to thousands of lawsuits against all of the manufacturers. Boston Scientific alone faces more than 2,000.
