Over 100 Women in England Secure Compensation for Vaginal Mesh Complications
First successful group claim against manufacturers highlights years of pain and suffering endured by affected women.
- The settlement involves manufacturers Johnson & Johnson, Bard, and Boston Scientific, with payouts expected to reach millions of pounds.
- The implants, used for stress urinary incontinence and prolapse, caused severe complications including chronic pain and organ perforations.
- Many women underwent additional surgeries to remove the mesh, with some still suffering ongoing issues.
- Strict 10-year time limits prevented many other affected women from claiming compensation.
- Campaigners call for government action to extend time limits and provide broader financial redress.
