C.R. Bard Inc. is liable for $3.6 million in damages after a jury found one of the company’s vaginal-mesh implant injured a woman in the first case over the devices to go to trial.
Jurors in state court in Bakersfield, California, concluded July 20 that Christine Scott and her husband deserved the damage award because of injuries caused by Bard’s Avaulta Plus vaginal implant, Elaine Houghton, one of the couple’s lawyers, said in a phone interview yesterday.
