Following several days of deliberations, the jury in the first Ethicon/J&J bellwether trial has returned a verdict in favor of the Plaintiff. The jury found that Ethicon/J&J failed to provide implanting surgeons adequate warnings about the risks associated with its Prolift product and made fraudulent representations about the product to the plaintiff. It awarded the Plaintiff 3.35 million in compensatory damages, which included damages for past and future wages, medical costs, spousal damages, and anguish. The jury will return tomorrow to begin the punitive damages phase.
