Injuries, Device Failures & Legal Options
Prescription birth control is widely used to prevent pregnancy and manage menstrual symptoms, yet many women have suffered devastating injuries linked to contraceptive medications and implanted devices. From life-threatening blood clots to IUD breakage and migration, these complications have sparked major mass tort actions against some of the largest pharmaceutical manufacturers in the country.
Carabin Law is actively investigating claims from individuals harmed by dangerous birth control products.
Risks Associated With Birth Control Devices & Medications
Women use a wide range of contraceptives, including:
Oral birth control pills (e.g., Yaz)
Skin patches
Subdermal implants
Hormonal injections (e.g., Depo-Provera)
Vaginal rings
Intrauterine devices (e.g., Mirena, ParaGard, Essure)
While effective, these products carry risks that patients were not always adequately warned about. Reported side effects range from mild discomfort to catastrophic injuries, such as:
Severe migraines
Elevated blood pressure
Blood clots & pulmonary embolism
Stroke or heart attack
Organ perforation
Device migration or breakage
Chronic pelvic pain
Infertility
Bone density loss
Brain tumors (meningiomas)
Autoimmune complications
Wrongful death
Major Birth Control Products Linked to Lawsuits
Claims allege the injection increases the risk of:
Meningiomas (benign but dangerous brain tumors)
Bone density loss
Depression and mood disorders
Hormonal complications
Plaintiffs argue Pfizer failed to disclose long-term neurological and endocrine risks.
The hormone-releasing IUD has faced lawsuits involving:
Device migration
Uterine perforation
Pelvic inflammatory disease
Infertility
Severe pain requiring surgical removal
Many women report not being warned of these complications.
Thousands of cases, consolidated under MDL 2974, focus on:
Device arms breaking upon removal
Embedded fragments
Emergency surgery
Permanent reproductive damage
The now-discontinued permanent birth control implant caused widespread injuries, including:
Organ perforation
Autoimmune symptoms
Chronic pain
Abnormal bleeding
Bayer faced extensive litigation and ultimately discontinued the device.
These popular birth control pills have been tied to:
Increased risk of blood clots
Pulmonary embolism
Stroke
Gallbladder disease
Cardiovascular events
Death
Thousands of women have filed claims alleging inadequate warnings.
Packaging Errors
Defective packaging in some birth control pills (e.g., Qualitas/Endo Pharma) resulted in misplaced pills, leading to:
Unintended pregnancies
Medical expenses
Emotional distress
Affected women have sought compensation for the physical and financial toll.
