Mirena Injuries: Do I Have A Lawsuit?
Mirena intrauterine contraceptive side effects have led to filing of dozens of lawsuits against Bayer Healthcare. Though the IUD has been promoted as a safe anti-pregnancy device, its side effects can lead to ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage, irregular menstrual and spotting, backache, pelvic inflammatory disease, infection, dyspareunia, ovarian cysts, vaginal perforation, pregnancy complications, and other injuries. The device migration from its original position had also resulted in unwanted pregnancy. The plaintiffs have sought accountability of the manufacturer for product liability, promoting the birth control devices without warning about side effects, and injuries caused.
Mirena Injury Lawsuits: Numbers Expected To Rise
More than two dozens of Mirena injury lawsuits have been filed in various US federal courts. At least 16 lawsuits seeking action against Bayer for Mirena side effect injuries are awaiting trial in New Jersey state courts. Bayer Healthcare, the defendant, expects hundreds of Mirena lawsuits to be filed by consumers injured by its side effects in the coming months.
In November 2012, a Californian woman filed a federal Mirena lawsuit holding Bayer responsible for uterus perforation and other injuries caused to her by Mirena contraceptive device. The 32-year-old suffered grave injuries after the IUD moved away through her fallopian tube eroding the uterus wall. A 21-year-old Ohio woman faced similar problems and had to undergo hysterectomy following severe pelvic pain. The Mirena contraceptive device she was implanted with perforated the uterus causing her to suffer from no-viable pregnancy. She is seeking millions in damages from Bayer for failing inform about the migration and injury risks associated with its product.
In July 2012, a 24-year-old woman from New Jersey filed a Mirena product liability lawsuit accusing Bayer of manufacturing and selling defective IUD devices that resulted in injury to her. The plaintiff had to undergo surgery within a year to remove the device that was dislocated from her uterus and moved away into the abdominal wall. The displacement not only caused pain and complications, but also failed to protect her from unwanted pregnancy.
Mirena injury lawsuits filed in a Morris County court by two women, one from Ohio in April and another from Oklahoma, in May 2012 also made similar claims. Both women suffered from internal injuries as the Mirena IUD detached from the uterus and moved through other body parts. The plaintiffs underwent hysterectomies because of injuries and infections caused by the device migration. They have blamed Bayer’s failure to warn about the Mirena side effects for their infertility and sufferings.
In October 2011, a medical malpractice lawsuit filed by a Virginia woman sought $2 million in damages from Blue Ridge Gynecology and Obstetrics PC for injuries caused by Mirena contraceptive. The victim had got the device implanted in September 2006. However, she began to experience abdomen pain and was found to have an ectopic pregnancy within months. The doctor could not find the Mirena IUD in her uterus as it was displaced and floating in her abdomen. She had to undergo surgery to remove the device. The lawsuit seeks damages for her suffering, pain, disfigurement, inability to work, and hospital expenses.
