Johnson & Johnson, another leading breast implant manufacturer, faced lawsuits over the risks associated with its implants. In 2019, the company agreed to a $100 million settlement with women who suffered from complications such as implant rupture, infections, and other health issues. The settlement provided compensation for medical costs related to corrective surgeries, follow-up treatments, and the physical and emotional distress caused by the complications.
In addition to medical damages, the settlement included financial support for the psychological and emotional trauma endured by many victims who were unaware of the risks posed by the implants. This case underscored the importance of holding manufacturers accountable for failing to adequately inform patients about potential dangers.
