J&J Must Pay Damages in Mesh Incontinence Implant Verdict LossBy Jef Feeley April 04, 2014 Johnson & Johnson (JNJ:US) was ordered by a Texas jury to pay $1.2 million to a woman who alleged one of the company’s lines of vaginal-mesh implants to treat incontinence was defectively designed, in the first verdict against the company over those devices.

They argued Batiste suffered pelvic pain when the device eroded inside her.
