Women Injured by Vaginal Mesh Urged to Seek Legal help

Press release from: Nadrich & Cohen LLP

Los Angeles, CA, December 7, 2011 - As vaginal mesh injury lawsuits continue to mount, the law firm of Nadrich & Cohen LLP is encouraging all women who’ve suffered complications after receiving a mesh implant to seek legal assistance. The firm has created www.VaginalMeshLegalClaims.com to provide information and resources for women across the country who have been injured by vaginal mesh.

To date, approximately 600 lawsuits have been filed against the Johnson & Johnson company, which manufactures the Ethicon Gynecare vaginal mesh system. According to court documents, the female plaintiffs claim that the implants caused severe pain, scarring, infection, blood vessel damage and other serious complications. The first bellweather trials for these lawsuits are scheduled to begin in federal court in November 2012.

In July 2011, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced it would conduct an ongoing safety review of vaginal mesh implants. From 2008 to 2011, the FDA received approximately 4,000 complaints from women who claimed they had been injured by a transvaginal mesh device. While there are currently no plans to recall vaginal mesh devices, consumer watchdog group Public Citizen is urging the FDA to take the products off the market.

In November 2011, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the American Urogynecologic Society issued a joint recommendation urging physicians to restrict the use of vaginal mesh only to those high-risk women for whom other treatment methods would prove ineffective. The two organizations also recommended the creation of a national registry, which would track past, present and future recipients of a vaginal mesh implant.

The law firm of Nadrich & Cohen is strongly urging women who’ve received a vaginal mesh implant to seek legal help, even if they have not yet begun to experience serious complications. Visitors to www.VaginalMeshLegalClaims.com can get more information on the vaginal mesh lawsuits and complete a confidential online contact form to schedule a free initial case evaluation. The firm’s Injury Hotline is also available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by calling 1-800-722-0765.

If you or someone you love has experienced adverse side effects after receiving a transvaginal mesh implant, contact Nadrich & Cohen LLP today to get the experienced legal representation you need to prove your personal injury claim.
