The New Jersey Supreme Court has declined to hear an appeal of an $11.1 million verdict against Johnson & Johnson over allegedly harmful pelvic mesh implants.
Tuesday’s decision lets stand the nation’s first plaintiffs verdict over the implants, which are made by J&J subsidiary Ethicon.

It was awarded after a jury trial conducted by Atlantic County Superior Court Judge Carol Higbee in July 2014.
