NJ Judge OKs $11 Mil. Award in Pelvic Mesh Mass Tort
A Johnson & Johnson subsidiary has lost a bid to upend an $11.1 million verdict in the first bellwether trial over allegedly harmful pelvic mesh implants. Atlantic County, NJ, Superior Court Judge Carol Higbee recently denied motions by Ethicon for a new trial and judgment notwithstanding the verdict that would have struck a jury award of $3.35 million in compensatory damages and $7.76 million in punitive damages from early last year. At trial, “there was strong evidence presented and multiple sources of evidence that in fact there were many problems with this product,” Higbee said in court, according to a preliminary transcript.
The decision “only marks the start of the appeals process,” Ethicon spokesman Matthew Johnson said in a statement. “We will be filing an appeal in this case as we believe the jury's verdict and damage awards were not supported by the evidence presented at trial.”
