US Supreme Court Refuses To Reject $302M Judgment Against Johnson & Johnson Over Pelvic Mesh Marketing
The U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear Johnson & Johnson's (NYSE: JNJ) regarding a $302 million judgment in a lawsuit brought by California, accusing the company of concealing the risks of its pelvic mesh products.
J&J had argued to the Supreme Court that state consumer protection laws like California's are too vague, exposing companies to unpredictable state lawsuits, Reuters reported
JNJ said the Supreme Court's rejection of the case will lead to continued "uneven, unclear, and unfair enforcement that harms consumers and businesses."
California sued the MedTech/Pharma giant in 2016 in San Diego Superior Court. The case stemmed from a multistate investigation into J&J subsidiary Ethicon Inc's marketing of pelvic mesh devices.
J&J and other mesh makers were already facing numerous private lawsuits by women who said they suffered pain, urinary problems, bleeding, and other serious injuries from the devices. The lawsuits have resulted in more than $8 billion in settlements.
J&J, which stopped selling pelvic mesh in 2012, has denied wrongdoing. In 2019, the FDA ordered all pelvic mesh devices off the market.
In September, Johnson & Johnson reached a A$300 million settlement in two Australian class action suits filed by Shine Lawyers for selling defective pelvic mesh implants to Australian women.

Biden Taking A Big Regulatory Swipe At The Small Percentage of Private Equity Investment in Senior Care
A 5% ownership block in a commercial real estate sector would rarely cause a blip on the government radar. But that’s not the case with America’s nursing homes and senior care facilities.

And the consensus is that the small private equity ownership block is his primary target. In the new proposal, nursing homes

U.S. Supreme Court snubs Wikipedia bid to challenge NSA surveillance
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday declined to hear a bid by the operator of the popular Wikipedia internet encyclopedia to resurrect its lawsuit against the National Security Agency challenging mass online surveillance. Turning away the Wikimedia Foundation's appeal, the justices left in place a lower court's dismissal of the lawsuit based on the government's assertion of what is called the state secrets privilege, a legal doctrine that can shut down litigation if disclosure of certain information would damage U.S. national security. The NSA, part of the Defense Department, is the agency responsible for U.S. cryptographic and communications intelligence and security.
