AMS Transvaginal Mesh Lawyer Interviews

Dallas, TX At first glance, American Medical Systems’ $830 million agreement to settle about 22,000 AMS transvaginal mesh complaints seems generous. But that only averages about $40,000 per case, before legal fees. The lawsuits allege the AMS polypropylene mesh is defective and that doctors and consumers were not properly warned about transvaginal mesh complications.

Minneapolis, MN "Because there are a number of transvaginal mesh manufacturers that have made many TVM products and subsequently caused injuries to thousands of women, the Judicial Panel on Multi-District Litigation decided it makes the most sense to have federal TVM lawsuits, including AMS claims, consolidated together in multi-district litigation, or MDL," says attorney Stacy Hauer, who is co-lead council in the Minnesota State Court American Medical Systems (AMS) litigation. This decision is in part because many women were implanted with mesh products made by multiple manufacturers.
