I’ve been injured by a faulty transvaginal surgical mesh implant, what are my rights?

The government has issued a warning about the use of transvaginal surgical meshes to treat pelvic organ prolapse, or when muscles in the area weaken, causing organs to bulge or slip down into the vagina. It can happen because of age, childbirth, or other reasons, and can cause pain and bladder leakage. The meshes have been associated with a number of serious and debilitating internal injuries to women. Injuries include organ perforation, pain, bleeding, infection, and urinary incontinence.

Hundreds of lawsuits have been filed against the manufacturers of these mesh products on behalf of women who have experienced these problems which could have been prevented if the manufacturers had properly researched the design or provided adequate warnings for the medical community.
