A federal judge in West Virginia has handed an alleged class-action racketeering lawsuit filed against Boston Scientific to FDA. The judge also rejected a request for a temporary restraining order against Boston Scientific to halt sales of its surgical mesh products on the grounds that the company was not notified of the application for the order.
The allegations of the recent lawsuit sounded like something out of a movie. Plaintiff Teresa Stevens had alleged that Boston Scientific had managed to get clearance for a range of vaginal mesh products made of a resin, Marlex HGX-030-1, not intended for use in permanent implants.
