Federal court orders pharmaceutical giant to pay costs and damages to three lead applicants in Australian class action

Pharmaceutical giant Johnson & Johnson has been ordered by the federal court to pay out almost $2.6m in damages to three women who received faulty pelvic mesh implants.

Justice Anna Katzmann last year ruled that Johnson & Johnson and two subsidiaries had acted negligently over the defective vaginal implants that left hundreds in debilitating pain.
