The representative plaintiffs and class counsel sought approval of a $21 million settlement in two certified class actions concerning allegedly defective transvaginal mesh devices.
They also sought approval of class counsel fees, disbursements, a distribution protocol, and honoraria for the representative plaintiffs.
The court found the settlement, distribution plan, and fee requests to be fair, reasonable, and in the best interests of the class.
The motion was granted, approving the settlement, the distribution protocol, class counsel fees of approximately $4.17 million, and honoraria for the representative plaintiffs.
