Endo International PLC agreed to pay $830 Million to settle about 20,000 lawsuits filed by women who say they were injured by transvaginal mesh devices. While not admitting fault, the company said the settlement will cover a substantial majority of the mesh litigation brought against its American Medical Systems subsidiary. This settlement is in addition to the $54.5 Million Endo agreed to pay last year to settle an undisclosed number of TVM cases.
The Endo agreement is still subject to several conditions, including confirmation of medical records for all claimants. TVM cases against other Defendants, including C.R. Bard, Inc. and Johnson & Johnson’s Ethicon unit, are pending.
