Lawsuit Accuses Boston Scientific of Smuggling Counterfeit Resin, Racketeering for Pelvic Mesh

A Houston law firm has filed a suit accusing the medical device maker Boston Scientific Corp. of selling defective vaginal mesh implants made from materials smuggled from China, and putting the health of thousands of women at risk.

The lawsuit, filed in federal court in West Virginia, claims the Marlborough company ran “an international conspiracy” and racketeering scheme to sell defective vaginal mesh, used to treat urinary incontinence and other pelvic organ problems, and asks the court to stop sales of the product. Boston Scientific denies the claims.
