Transvaginal Mesh Lawsuits
According to court documents, more than 11,000 claims have been filed in the Southern District of West Virginia on behalf of women who allegedly suffered serious vaginal mesh complications due to products manufactured by Boston Scientific. All of the cases consolidated for the October trial claim that the company’s Obtryx sling was defectively designed and manufactured, putting recipients at risk for serious and debilitating injuries. Bernstein Liebhard LLP partner, Jeffrey S. Grand, is serving on the Plaintiffs’ Steering Committee for the proceeding.
In addition to his work on the federal Boston Scientific litigation, Mr. Grand is also serving on the Plaintiffs’ Steering Committees in several other multidistrict litigations established for transvaginal mesh lawsuits in the Southern District of West Virginia. These include proceedings involving American Medical Systems, Inc. (MDL No. 2325), C.R. Bard, Inc. (MDL 2326) and Ethicon, Inc. (MDL No. 2327).
Mr. Grand was also appointed Co-Liaison Counsel in two consolidated proceedings established for C.R. Bard and Ethicon mesh lawsuits in New Jersey’s Atlantic Superior Court.
