In the wake of the recent FDA Safety Alert on the complications caused by surgical mesh in pelvic organ prolapse surgery, women have been turning to pelvic mesh lawyers in order to sue the companies that manufacture the product.  Those companies are certainly responsible for a piece of this – they’ve been profiting off of a product that turns out to be rather dangerous.  But there are other people and entities who are also involved.  Many surgeons began to notice problems with surgical mesh when used transvaginally; did they report their observations promptly to the FDA?  Did they stop using the product when they started to have misgivings about its safety?  The FDA should obviously take some of the blame in this circumstance.   Transvaginal mesh was approved by the FDA by a controversial process that evades pre-market testing requirements.  More stringent regulations would have kept this product off the market because its risk of health complications would have been exposed and market approval would have been denied.  Consumer health advocates should use this case to call for stronger regulation of medical devices in the United States.
