Mirena Lawsuit Claims IUD Contraceptive Defective, Unsafe
Rebecca, a working mother in the late 20s, selected Mirena IUD birth control before planning her second pregnancy. She experienced pelvic infections after the device had been implanted, but for some time, she was under the impression that these were common side effects. However, two years later, she had an ectopic pregnancy, which forced her to seek removal of the contraceptive IUD. Her doctor had a tough time in locating the Mirena IUD that had moved away from its original place and entrenched in her fallopian tube.
The Mirena lawsuit also claimed that the plaintiff suffered from two miscarriages within 13 months of removing the birth control device. She was told that her uterus was too weak to hold the fetus. The doctors also asked her to undergo surgery to remove her ovary and a portion of the fallopian tube that had been damaged by Mirena migration.
Rebecca’s Mirena lawsuit alleges that she selected the IUD contraceptive, considering it safe, since there were no warnings about ectopic pregnancy or possible miscarriages linked to the device from the manufacturer. The lawsuit also claims that the Mirena IUD design was defective, which allows it to migrate and perforate uterine organs. Blaming the manufacturer for her trauma, the plaintiff asserts that had Bayer openly warned users of the risk of loss of capacity to conceive because of Mirena injuries, she would have avoided it all costs. She sues the manufacturer for physical injury, financial losses, and emotional distress because of the unsafe and defective contraceptive.

Survey Shows Doctors Consider Mirena IUD Unsafe
In 2012, results of two surveys highlighted that a majority of medical professionals considered Mirena birth control IUD unsafe and risky. Published in the Obstetrics & Gynecology journal, one survey counted that over 60 percent of participating doctors rejected the IUD contraceptive as their first choice purely on safety grounds. They felt its potential side effect injuries could result in users losing their ability to conceive.
Another report endorsed by the American Public Health Association claimed that almost half of the medical experts felt that the Mirena birth control IUD puts users at a greater risk of complications, including uterus damage.
The FDA has also cautioned women without children against using the IUD contraceptive, fearing potential Mirena side effects, such as uterus perforation and miscarriage. In 2009, it admitted to have received over thousands of Mirena injury reports. According to media reports, about 70,000 Mirena side effect complaints, including 47,000 in the last five years, have been made to the FDA in the last one decade.
Mirena Lawsuits
A Connecticut woman has sought $150,000 in compensation, claiming that she had to undergo an IUD removal surgery following pain and pelvic infection caused by Mirena migration. Thirty-two-year-old Tiara from Pennsylvania has demanded an undisclosed amount in damages. Her Mirenal lawsuit alleges that she had to undergo hysterectomy and additional surgeries and lost her ability to become a mother again as the Mirena IUD she had migrated and damaged her uterus beyond repair.
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.
