Attorney General Herbert H. Slatery III has announced a multistate settlement with Boston Scientific Corporation (Boston) to resolve allegations of deceptive marketing of its surgical mesh products for women. The settlement requires Boston to pay $188.6 million to 47 states and the District of Columbia. Tennessee’s share of the settlement is $4,900,958 million. “There are serious risks associated with these devices,” said General Slatery. “This Office will continue to enforce consumer protection laws that require companies like Boston to communicate clearly and truthfully about the safety of their products.”
