    A jury is due to start hearing arguments today about the punitive damages that Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) should pay for harm caused to a South Dakota patient by the company's Gynecare Prolift vaginal mesh. The jury yesterday ordered the company to pay Linda Gross $3.35M in an initial award. J&J faces 4,000 lawsuits over the product in the U.S., although Morningstar analyst Damien Conover reckons the firm should be able to withstand any further penalties.
