The recent dismissal of 31 Mirena IUD lawsuits by New York Judge Cathy Seibel has failed to dent the surge in product liability claims involving the birth control. With the original libel going beyond the 2,500 mark and growing awareness on IUD side effects and defective medical device legal action, a Mirena attorney predicts considerable expansion in the litigation size. Hundreds of claimants are joining MDL centralizations at Southern New York District Court and Bergen County Superior Court of New Jersey each month while reports continue to highlight the injury and plight of users.
Plaintiffs have alleged that the IUD birth control caused them to suffer from following injuries while manufacturer Bayer failed to warn them about potential side effects.
- Spontaneous Mirena migration leading to unwanted pregnancy
- Perforation of uterus and pelvic organs
- Damage to uterus and its removal
- Surgical removal of the IUD
- Side effects leading to invasive surgeries
- Abnormal menstrual change and abdominal cramps
- Ectopic pregnancy and ovarian cysts
- Post-use pregnancy-related side effects, including miscarriages
- Vaginal disorders
- Streptococcal sepsis and pelvic diseases
New York Federal Mirena IUD Lawsuit MDL
According to the latest data, over 1,160 IUD migration and injury lawsuits have been filed by Mirena attorneys in different federal courts. The first trial, which will have six claims and a steering influence on subsequent claims, is set to be held in March 2016. Meanwhile, the judge dismissed 31 lawsuits as “time-barred” on January 9. As many as 12 plaintiffs from Louisiana, 17 from California, one each from Ohio and Oklahoma found their IUD lawsuits dismissed for failing to comply with the statutes of limitations.
Judge Seibel felt sorry for California plaintiffs and noted that their lawsuits could “not be tested on the merits because of a poor choice by their Mirena injury lawyers as to where to file.”
New Jersey Mirena Lawsuit MDL
More than 1,500 Mirena IUD migration and injury litigations are pending at the Bergen County Superior Court. Court records indicate at least 150 new lawsuits have been filed by Mirena attorneys in the last two months. February 24 has been fixed as the date for the Case Management Conference.
All Mirena lawsuits focus on IUD migration, the biggest adverse event related to the birth control. This includes allegations of infertility, organ damage, and pelvic perforations. Many claims have highlighted a “Warning Letter Bayer received from the FDA in 2009 that took issue with Mirena promotional materials that the agency said were misleading because they exaggerated the IUD’s benefit and understated its risks.”
New Mirena Lawsuits Continue To Pour In
Thanks to the efforts of Mirena attorneys and consumer groups, both IUD lawsuits and complaints continue to pour in. One of the recent Mirena claims filed by a Cleveland woman alleges that she experienced painful cramps and the agony multiplied with time. She underwent ultrasound to locate the displaced IUD and surgery to remove it. The plaintiff’s uterus was damaged so badly that her gynecologist found her unsuitable to become pregnant.
Another Illinois woman underwent surgery after the migrating IUD led to bowel problems and acute stomach pain. Her Mirena injury lawyer insists that the birth control also resulted in pelvic inflammatory infection, which might be a cause of infertility.
The plaintiffs suffered from complications because of Mirena IUD migration and side effects have the right to seek product liability and demand financial damages covering economic and non-economic losses.
