Mirena IUD Lawsuits
The Mirena IUD is a long-acting contraceptive device that is manufactured by Bayer Healthcare Pharmaceuticals. The product was initially approved as a method of birth control in 2000 by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA), which in 2009 expanded its approved uses to include the treatment of heavy menstrual bleeding in women who wish to use an IUD as their method of contraception. According to a report that aired on 7 Action News this past summer, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) has received more than 70,000 complaints involving Mirena, including thousands that detail cases of device dislocation and uterine perforation, since the IUD was first launched.*

In December 2009, the FDA issued a Warning Letter to Bayer Healthcare Pharmaceuticals after finding that one of the company’s Mirena promotions made misleading claims about the safety and efficacy of the IUD.
According to court documents, all of the Mirena lawsuits pending in the New Jersey litigation allege that plaintiffs sustained uterine perforations, adhesions, infections, and other serious Mirena complications due to spontaneous migration of the IUD, even though the device had been properly inserted by a healthcare provider. The lawsuits further allege that Bayer has a history of overstating the IUD’s benefits and downplaying its risks. Finally, plaintiffs claim that the company has not provided adequate warnings regarding its propensity to spontaneous migrate from its proper position in the uterus, and point out that the Mirena label only states that migration may occur if the uterus is punctured during insertion.
Court records indicate that more than 1,000 lawsuits involving alleged Mirena complications are now pending in courts throughout the country. In addition to the New Jersey litigation, nearly 500 additional lawsuits have been consolidated for pretrial proceedings in the U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York. (In re: Mirena IUD Products Liability Litigation, MDL No. 2434)
Women who have allegedly experienced serious Mirena complications related to spontaneous migration of the IUD may be entitled to financial compensation for their injury-related damages.
