Johnson Johnson Will Pay $300M To Women Who’ve Suffered From Pelvic Mesh Implant Complications

Pharmaceutical giant Johnson & Johnson has reached a $300 million settlement in two class actions, after women around the world suffered devastating complications from the company’s defective pelvic mesh implants. Shine Lawyers, which filed the Australian class actions, said the settlement is the largest in a product liability class action in Australian history. It is subject to Federal Court approval. The law firm alleged Johnson & Johnson failed to test its pelvic mesh devices adequately and didn’t properly warn doctors, surgeons or patients about their risk, per The Guardian
