The Texas Tribune, in partnership with Kaiser Health News, covers the controversy surrounding use of pelvic mesh implants by women, noting that in Texas, “a coalition of ‘pelvic mesh survivors’ has asked Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott, who is also the state’s Republican nominee for governor, to pursue legal action against Johnson & Johnson, one of the largest implant makers.” The paper noted that Texas women have also filed numerous lawsuits against mesh manufacturers in Federal courts across the US. The women allege the pelvic mesh implants were associated with “severe complications, including extreme pain, bleeding and infections.”
