According to Bloomberg, the Dallas, Texas jury deliberated for one day, and delivered their verdict on that same day.*

Furthermore, the jury ruled that responsibility lay with Boston Scientific in regard to the injuries sustained by the plaintiff in the case, Martha Salazar.
As detailed in the Bloomberg article, Salazar underwent four surgical operations to remove her Obtryx bladder sling that she claimed was causing her severe pain.
Salazar is to receive a $23 million compensatory package and $50 million in punitive damages.
The Texas case is Salazar v. Lopez, No. DC-1214349 in the Dallas County District Court.
