The Philadelphia Inquirer reports that yesterday a jury awarded $16 million in compensatory damages and $25 million in punitive damages to a woman who claimed she suffered serious health complications after being implanted with Ethicon vaginal mesh. Johnson & Johnson is Ethicon's parent company.
Johnson & Johnson has been battered with punitive damages awards in recent years. Juries have awarded punitive damages in other mesh cases, as well as in cases involving hip implants and talc products.
