Johnson & Johnson to pay nearly $344 million

A San Diego judge ordered Johnson & Johnson to pay nearly $344 million in penalties for deceptively marketing pelvic mesh devices for women.

Superior Court Judge Eddie Sturgeon ruled Thursday against the medical giant in a lawsuit brought by the California Department of Justice in 2016.

The California attorney general’s office said it was the first time a court has ruled that the company engaged in false and deceptive business practices.
