      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">The GYNECARE PROLIFT Mesh Lawsuit Center provides a wealth of information about lawsuits against Ethicon for those who believe their mesh implants have harmed them.</p><p>New York, NY -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 12/13/2013 --  There are now about 40,000 transvaginal mesh injury lawsuits pending in a consolidation in federal court in West Virginia, more than a quarter of those involving Johnson &amp; Johnson Ethicon&apos;s GYNECARE PROLIFT vaginal mesh implants. The GYNECARE PROLIFT Mesh Lawsuit Center at <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="gynecareproliftmeshlawsuit.com" href="http://gynecareproliftmeshlawsuit.com/">gynecareproliftmeshlawsuit.com</a> notes that the depth and breadth of the litigation has necessitated the expansion of the plaintiffs&apos; executive committee.<br />
<br />
Judge Joseph R. Goodwin in a Dec. 6 order added three attorneys to the executive committee, which is in charge of the plaintiffs&apos; side of six different multidistrict litigation matters that are now made up of almost 40,000 pending lawsuits, according to court documents (In re: C.R. Bard, Inc., Pelvic Repair System Products Liability Litigation; MDL-2187, U.S. District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia). <br />
<br />
MDLs are consolidations of cases with similar causes for suit as a means for creating efficient pretrial proceedings.<br />
<br />
The GYNECARE PROLIFT Mesh Lawsuit Center encourages those who believe their vaginal mesh implants have harmed them to visit the Center&apos;s TVM page to learn more about Ethicon Gynecare Prolift vaginal mesh settlements and lawsuits, and to apply for a free case review.<br />
<br />
Women are filing vaginal mesh lawsuits alleging they suffered injuries from serious adverse side effects such as pain, discomfort and the erosion of the mesh implant.<br />
