Our team of attorneys are now investigating claims and prepared to file Mirena lawsuitsinvolving the intrauterine contraceptive device Mirena®. Manufactured by Bayer Healthcare Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Mirena is an IUD device [intrauterine device] that must be inserted by a trained health care provider and is intended to provide contraceptive protection for up to five years. Some women have experienced serious adverse side-effects and potentially life-threatening complications following the implantation of theMirena device, including perforation of or imbedment in the uterus.
Mirena Lawsuits: More Women File Litigations Seeking Product Liability Against Bayer
Mirena lawsuits are on the rise with large number of women filing product liability litigations against Bayer holding its IUD responsible for their injuries. Over 400 Mirena lawsuits have been filed in various U.S. federal and state courts. At least 230 Mirena lawsuits are pending for trial in a Bergan County court of New Jersey. The Multi-County Litigation panel has assigned Judge Brian R. Martinotti the task of pretrial consolidation of all litigations involving Mirena IUD in the state where the U.S. headquarters of manufacturer Bayer is located.
With over 72,000 adverse event complaints making their way to the FDA reporting system, thousands of consumers, who suffered from Mirena side effects, are expected to join the litigation drive. Considering high number of users forced to have hysterectomy following IUD-caused uterine perforations, both legal and industry experts feel that the eventual number of plaintiff suing Bayer in the coming days is likely to ascend fast. According to the MedWatch data obtained by the media, at least 4,000 women had hysterectomy and another 6,000 had surgeries, pelvic disorders, and health problems after they began using Mirena contraceptive.
There are also large numbers of women who had early IUD failure or ectopic pregnancy while using the birth control IUD. New York southern district federal Judge Cathy Seibel has been selected by the federal MDL panel for the pretrial consolidation of more than 200 Mirena birth control lawsuits. The trial of first Mirena lawsuits is expected to start in the second half of 2015.

Recent Mirena Lawsuits
A Mirena Lawsuit filed by a Tennessee woman in October 2013 claims that the IUD contraceptive is defective and manufacturer Bayer is responsible for not disclosing risks associated with it. The plaintiff was diagnosed with a damaged uterus within three years of using the Mirena IUD. The birth control device damaged her uterus during its migration and found floating in the abdomen before causing her to suffer pain, injuries, and economic losses.
Two new Mirena lawsuits filed Pennsylvania and New York federal courts in the first week of November have also made similar claims. The first plaintiff, a 28-year-old woman from Pennsylvania experienced complications and severe pain within a year of using the Mirena IUD. She underwent hysterectomy to completely remove the perforated uterus and the Mirena IUD that had displaced. According to the second litigation, a New York woman had a laparoscopic surgery to remove the migrated IUD. However, the persistent complications forced her to have a uterus removal surgery within months to end her sufferings.
If you experienced adverse Mirena side effects, required surgery or have a loved one who suffered death following the implantation of Mirena, you may have a potential Mirena lawsuit.
