Boston Scientific wins first trial over transvaginal mesh device

A Massachusetts jury has cleared Boston Scientific Corp of selling dangerous and defective transvaginal mesh devices, in the first out of more than 20,000 lawsuits waiting to go to trial. The verdict came Tuesday in a suit brought by Diane Albright, who in 2012 claimed that the Pinnacle device she was implanted with was faulty, causing complications that included pain, bleeding and incontinence. Following a trial of almost three weeks, jurors found that Boston Scientific was not liable for Albright's injuries. "While we were disappointed with the verdict, it was a privilege to represent Mrs. Albright and to give a voice to her story," said her lawyer, Fidelma Fitzpatrick of Motley Rice.
