FREE PARAGARD IUD PRODUCTS REVIEW

Paragard IUD (intrauterine device) is a T-shaped plastic device used for birth control. It is inserted directly into the uterus and works by releasing copper ions that prevent fertilization of an egg. Paragard IUD can be left in place for up to 10 years, making it one of the longest-lasting birth control methods. However, there have recently been reports of Paragard IUDs causing serious health complications in some women, including pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), perforation of the uterus, and increased risk for ectopic pregnancy. 

The lawsuits allege that Paragard's manufacturer, Teva Pharmaceuticals, did not properly warn patients of the risks associated with their product. The plaintiffs also assert that Paragard is defectively designed, as the design includes a metal component which can migrate freely within the uterus and cause damage to surrounding tissue and organs. Additionally, some plaintiffs allege that the Paragard IUD can break, fragment, and migrate past the uterus into other areas of the body. This is said to be due to its T-shaped design being too large for some women's uteruses. The lawsuits allege that these design and marketing defects have caused plaintiffs physical and emotional harm. 

The defendants in these cases are primarily Teva Pharmaceuticals and its subsidiary, CooperSurgical. The plaintiffs allege that these companies are liable for the design defects of Paragard as well as their failure to properly warn patients of the risks associated with using this birth control method. Additionally, some lawsuits have named other parties who may have been involved in the marketing or sale of the product, such as distributors and healthcare providers. 

The potential damages in these cases include compensation for physical pain, emotional suffering, medical expenses, and lost wages. Additionally, plaintiffs may be awarded punitive damages if it is found that defendants acted with gross negligence or malice in making or marketing Paragard.  If successful, the plaintiffs may also be able to recover attorneys' fees and costs associated with bringing the lawsuit. 

The length of these lawsuits will vary depending on the complexity of the case and whether or not there is a settlement agreement. Generally speaking, most cases can take months or even years to reach resolution.  It is important for plaintiffs in these types of cases to be aware that litigation can be lengthy, expensive, and emotionally draining.  Those considering filing a lawsuit should speak to an experienced attorney about the potential pros and cons of this option.
