MELBOURNE - More than 1,350 Australian women won a seven-year-old class action lawsuit on Thursday against Johnson & Johnson for misleading patients and surgeons about the risks of the pharmaceutical giant’s pelvic mesh implants.
The suit is one of many J&J has faced in the United States, Canada and Europe over the implants, used to treat urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse, in which organs shift from normal positions. J&J in October agreed to pay nearly $117 million to resolve claims in 41 U.S. states and the District of Columbia.
Judge Katzmann ruled that much of the information the company provided about the devices was “inaccurate” and at times made “false representations”. “The post-market evaluation of all the Ethicon devices was deficient,” she said. “It fell well below the level of care required of a reasonably prudent manufacturer.”
