Australian court upholds Johnson & Johnson vaginal implants verdict 2 minutes read
Sydney, Australia, Mar 5 (efe-epa).- The Federal Court of Australia at a plenary session on Friday upheld a ruling ordering multinational giant Johnson & Johnson and its subsidiary Ethicon to pay a million-dollar compensation to a group of women with faulty vaginal mesh implants sold by the company.
In March 2020, Federal Court Judge Anna Katzmann had ordered the American multinational to pay AU$ 2.6 million ($2 million) in damages to Kathryn Gill, Diane Dawson and Ann Sanders, who led a class action lawsuit that has been joined by 10,000 women.
“No error has been demonstrated in the exercise of the primary judge’s discretion to order the Injunction,” read the ruling published on Friday on the court’s website.
