Summary

In this pelvic mesh product liability suit, plaintiff was the recipient of defendant's Obtryx pelvic mesh device to treat stress incontinence. Plaintiff claims that the product's defective design and defendant's failure to warn plaintiff's physician of the product's dangers led to its use and its eventual erosion inside her causing her pain and medical complications.
Defendant argues the product's design is proven safe and that plaintiff's physician was adequately warned of the risk of erosion.
