After encountering some difficulties during the course of the vaginal mesh trial against Mentor Worldwide LCC in Georgia, a decision favorable to the plaintiff was eventually handed down.
The plaintiff in this vaginal mesh lawsuit was implanted with a Mentor OB Tape on December 29, 2004 for the treatment of her stress urinary incontinence (SUI). In just a short period of time, the plaintiff started experiencing severe complications resulting to serious injuries.
Originally filed in a federal court in Minnesota, the plaintiff’s complaint was transferred to the US District Court for the Middle District of Georgia where it was included in the consolidation of lawsuits under a multidistrict litigation (MDL).
In his petition, the counsel for the plaintiff requested the court for a retrial due to the comments made by the lawyer of the defendant during his closing statements.
Presiding Judge Clay D. Land declared in his ruling that the defense did not improperly argue when counsel said that the lack of action by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) prior to the sling procedure should be considered by the jury in determining whether Mentor was negligent.
