Cohen, Placitella & Roth is pleased to announce that Jillian A.S. Roman has been named Co-Liaison Counsel in the In re Pelvic Mesh/Gynecare Products Liability litigation by the Honorable Carol E. Higbee, Superior Court of New Jersey, Atlantic County.

This litigation involves the claims of hundreds of women throughout the country whose alleged injuries as a result of these transvaginal mesh and bladder sling devices include erosion, infection, pain, urinary problems, bleeding, vaginal scarring or shrinkage, pain during sexual intercourse, and recurrence of urinary problems or pelvic organ prolapse. As Co-Liaison Counsel, Ms. Roman shall serve as a liaison between the Court, defense counsel and all Plaintiffs’ counsel.

The Honorable Carol E. Higbee has scheduled the next case management conference for September 15, 2011.
