$830 Million Vaginal Mesh Settlement by Endo International.
Vaginal Mesh is a term describing both the surgical mesh and the mesh products (sling devices and tape) used for the treatment of POP (Pelvic Organ Prolapse) and female Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI). The mesh surgery used for treating abdominal hernias has been used since the 1970s to treat these conditions, and the specific configurations on the market today began being developed in the 1990s. There are a number of different manufacturers who have marketed these products including C.R. Bard, Johnson & Johnson, American Medical Systems, Boston Scientific, and others.

A clinical study of these products was stopped prior to completion because of severe surgical mesh side effects that the patients were experiencing. Upwards of 15% of women involved in the study experienced vaginal mesh side effects such as “erosion.” Erosion is a painful condition where the mesh protrudes through skin that has split open.
By 2009 the FDA had issued warnings that more than 1000 adverse event reports connected with these products had been received. There are vaginal mesh lawsuits that are being litigated across the nation. All biologic and synthetic vaginal mesh devices manufactured in the United States are currently under investigation.
