ParaGard Lawsuit Case Review

Paragard lawsuits are filed by women who claim that the Paragard IUD is defective and that the manufacturers failed to adequately warn them or their doctors that the device could break upon removal. The MDL claims are being filed in federal court in Georgia.

Who Is Eligible to File a Lawsuit?​

You might be able to bring a Paragard case if your Paragard IUD broke during removal and you suffered a major injury or adverse effects from Paragard. Lawsuit-filing women assert that Paragard fractured during removal, embedding fragments of the IUD in their bodies. In order to cure issues and remove the device, several women needed surgery.

“Paragard removal is nonsurgical and done by a health care provider during a routine office visit in just a few minutes,” states the Cooper Surgical website. When the device is taken out, it should fold up in accordance with the removal instructions found in the prescribing material.
