What is the ParaGard IUD Lawsuit About?
The ParaGard IUD, marketed as a long-term, hormone-free birth control option, has been linked to severe complications. Women across the country have filed lawsuits claiming that the device is defective and prone to breaking during removal. These breakages can lead to devastating health issues, including:
-Uterine perforation
-Organ damage from embedded fragments
-Chronic pelvic pain
-Infections requiring hospitalization
-Infertility
-The need for invasive surgeries, such as hysterectomies or laparoscopies
Despite these risks, Teva Pharmaceuticals and CooperSurgical allegedly failed to provide adequate warnings about the potential dangers of the device. Plaintiffs argue that these companies prioritized profits over patient safety by downplaying risks and failing to update warning labels until years after adverse events were reported.

Call Your Facility for Medical Records:
If you don’t already have them, reach out to the medical facility where your ParaGard IUD was implanted and request a copy of your complete medical records. Be sure to specifically ask for the operating report and billing statement related to the procedure. The operating report is especially important as it contains critical details, including the product ID and Lot Number of the ParaGard IUD used during your procedure. This information is essential if you are pursuing legal action or need to file a claim related to complications caused by the device.
