It is understood that a California court upheld the issuance of penalties arising from allegations of deceptive marketing in relation to vaginal mesh implants. This is said to relate to statements and representations that had allegedly been made in respect of the use of the implants in America.
It is understood that Johnson and Johnson had appealed the initial penalties on the basis that there is no evidence as to what representations may have actually been made. Although the court reportedly took into account some of the submissions from Johnson and Johnson, they still considered that there was enough evidence that they had allegedly knowingly deceived medical professionals and patients.
It is understood that Johnson and Johnson intend to continue appealing the decisions that have been made.
