In the first pelvic mesh trial to go forward against Boston Scientific, the plaintiff obtained a victory from a Massachusetts court, which overturned a prior verdict rendered in 2014 that had dismissed the case.

The plaintiff argued that this MSDS document showed that the chemical was not appropriate for implantation in the human body.<\/p>\n

The plaintiff also contended on appeal that the judge committed reversible error in preventing two letters from the FDA that were sent to Boston Scientific from being included in the evidence. The letters included directions from the federal agency ordering Boston Scientific to perform post-market surveillance studies for its mesh product. The letter also showed that the FDA agreed to suspend this order to perform studies after Boston Scientific said that it was no longer intending to sell the mesh product.<\/p>\n
