Johnson & Johnson’s Ethicon, Inc. unit developed the line of Gynecare products in order to help treat a variety of Women’s Health medical issues. Unfortunately, several Gynecare mesh implants have been identified as posing high risks of serious complications by the FDA. Gynecare Mesh complications may include: bleeding, infection, organ perforation, mesh erosion, emotional problems, vaginal scarring, mesh contraction/shrinkage, and neuromuscular problems as well. Surgery with Gynecare mesh may even result in a reemergence of pelvic organ prolapse, urinary problems, or stress urinary incontinence as well. Lawsuits have been filed against Johnson & Johnson’s Ethicon by hundreds of women injured by Gynecare products.

2011 Gynecare Mesh Lawsuit News

In 2011, the Ethicon subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson was embroiled in lawsuit battles regarding its Gynecare mesh products for women. These products were targeted following a large number of adverse event reports filed with the United States Food and Drug Administration through its MedWatch safety reporting system. Gynecare mesh devices are supposed to permanently strengthen and reinforce pelvic tissues; however their use frequently results in even more serious complications for a patient. Some women require multiple mesh revision surgeries following their primary procedures, but are never able to enjoy their prior quality of life. The FDA recently reclassified vaginal mesh implants, including Gynecare, as class III devices.
