Medical studies show that of the 300,000 women who received transvaginal mesh (TVM) implants in 2010, roughly ten percent experienced a severe complication within the first year of their TVM surgery. This medical device failure rate isn’t just incredibly high; it’s unexpectedly high. Most women decided to engage in a TVM procedure without understanding the risk that they were imposing on themselves.
The law permits risky decisions. However, the law abhors decisions made in a knowledge vacuum. Tragically, many TVM patients were sold on the idea of a dangerous procedure without being told the full risks and dangers of the device. As a result, patients took risks they didn’t realize they were taking – and now they’re paying a price they didn’t expect to pay. This isn’t fair, and it’s in violation of basic tort law.
