Monday that, while the state had proven its case concerning the written materials J&J used to market the transvaginal mesh products, it had not shown that company sales representatives made misleading statements about them in conversations with doctors.
J&J said in a statement that it would appeal and that Ethicon "responsibly communicated the risks and benefits of its transvaginal mesh products to doctors and patients."The office of California Attorney General Rob Bonta did not immediately respond to requests for comment. California's case, filed in 2016 in San Diego Superior Court, stemmed from a multistate investigation into J&J's marketing of its pelvic mesh devices, which were used to treat bladder problems and other conditions.
J&J and other mesh makers were already facing numerous private lawsuits by women who said they suffered pain, perforations, urinary problems, bleeding and other serious injuries. Those lawsuits have resulted in more than $7 billion in settlements thus far. In 2019, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ordered all pelvic mesh makers to halt sales of the devices.
