A Texas state judge yesterday reportedly halved the damages levied against Boston Scientific (NYSE:BSX) last month in a product liability lawsuit over its Obtryx pelvic mesh, rolling back $50 million in punitive damages.
Judge Ken Molberg of the Dallas County District Court invoked a Texas cap on damages, Law360 reported, cutting the $50 million to $11.2 million but leaving in place $23.5 million in actual damages.
A Dallas jury ruled in September that Boston Scientific's Obtryx pelvic mesh device caused Martha Salazar's injuries, awarding her $73.5 million in damages in the company's 1st courtroom loss over the vaginal slings.
