Endo Health Solutions Inc. (ENDP) said it will pay about $830 million to resolve most lawsuits alleging its vaginal-mesh implants eroded in some women and left them incontinent and in pain.
Endo’s American Medical Systems Inc. unit said in a statement that it’s settling about 20,000 suits over the devices, which include the Perigee, Apogee and Elevate implants. Dublin-based Endo still faces at least 5,000 claims against AMS, including some that have been consolidated for pretrial proceedings in West Virginia, according to court records.
