Johnson & Johnson faces fresh legal problems over its vaginal mesh products as two state attorneys general on Tuesday filed lawsuits accusing the health care giant of concealing severe risks and falsely marketing the products to doctors and women.
The lawsuits, which were filed in California and Washington state, allege that Johnson & Johnson failed to disclose a host of problems caused by the devices, which are designed to treat the conditions stress urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse. Among the side effects cited: permanent pain with intercourse; a loss of sexual function; chronic inflammation; and permanent urinary or defecation dysfunction.
“It’s difficult to put into words the horrific injuries and pain many women are still suffering as a result of Johnson & Johnson’s deception,” Washington State Attorney General Bob Ferguson said in a statement.
