Since the 1980s, the ParaGard IUD has been available to women as a long-term birth control method. However, ParaGard has come under fire for its potential to migrate, break, perforate or cause other serious injuries that threaten the lives of the thousands of women who use it as their primary birth control. Women have begun filing ParaGard lawsuits for the injuries they’ve suffered from the negligence of the drug’s manufacturers. A ParaGard lawyer can help you figure out your next steps, such as filing a Paragard Lawsuit, if the copper IUD caused your injuries.
Paragard lawsuits claim that the Paragard IUD device can fracture or break during removal, leading to serious injuries. Fractured pieces of the IUD may embed within the uterus, requiring surgery to remove and potentially causing long-term health complications.
Users allege that Paragard’s unexpected breakage can lead to severe health issues, including pelvic pain, infection, and even infertility. These complications often require invasive medical treatments, leaving patients with ongoing health concerns and medical bills.
Lawsuits argue that Paragard’s manufacturer failed to adequately warn patients and doctors about the risks of breakage during removal. This alleged lack of transparency has led many to seek compensation for their injuries and the associated medical costs.
Lawsuits against ParaGard allege that the product’s manufacturer, Teva Pharmaceuticals, created a dangerous medication and failed to instruct doctors on how to remove the implant without breakage. Further, women hurt by the product were not properly warned about the potential implant breakage.
Suits against ParaGard manufacturers allege that warnings for ParaGard were “vague, incomplete or otherwise whole inadequate” when it came to addressing the actual risks associated with the implant.
ParaGard is not the first long-term birth control making headlines for injuring women. Two Bayer contraception products, Essure and Mirena, also led to similar injuries and required surgery for removal.
ParaGard isn’t the first IUD to make headlines for lawsuits. Years ago, The Carlson Law Firm helped women file lawsuits for both Mirena and Essure. While the ParaGard implant has been around since the 1980s, thousands of people have begun filing lawsuits against the manufacturer Teva Pharmaceuticals.
Paragard is a copper intrauterine device designed to prevent pregnancy for up to 10 years. It is also at the center of thousands of lawsuits filed by women who allege the device led to significant trauma often leading to surgical removal. The Paragard T380A is designed to be placed and removed without surgery. The T380A device has been shown to have brittle arms that are prone to breakage.
