As an Essure Attorney, I wanted to spend a minute posting on some research studies on the Essure device for our readers.
In April 2015, the Journal of Minimally Invasive Gynecology published a long-term monitoring report based on larger trials involving Essuer birth control device. The data, though, pertains to monitoring of volunteers between 2002 and 2007, it was not published eight years. Of 518 volunteers, only 366 were monitored for full five years. Among them, 38 percent suffered from menstrual bleedings, 5 percent experienced pelvic pain, about 7 percent had painful menstruation, and 4 percent complained of pain during sex. Fifteen women had hysterectomies.
The FDA has received at least 5,000 Essure injury complaints, including four deaths and dozens of fallopian tube or uterus perforation reports. A citizens’ petition presented to the regulator, highlights 16,047 adverse events associated with the transcervical birth control device reported to Conceptus, the original manufacturer and now part of Bayer, between 2011 and 2013.
A Florida woman, through her Essure attorney, has sued Bayer citing negligence and misrepresentation. Five more lawsuits are pending in a Pennsylvania federal court claiming that manufacturers “breached warranty and committed fraud during the clinical trials to get the device approved by the FDA.”
Contact our Essure injury attorney or call on 1-800-632-1404 to explore options for filing Essure injury lawsuits and seek compensation and damages for suffering from complications associated with the birth control device.
