The IUD injury lawsuits allege that Bayer Pharmaceuticals, the manufacturer of the Mirena IUD, sold a dangerous product, hid the side effects and risks of the device, and engaged in deceptive advertising practices.<\/p>\n<p>The FDA approved Bayer\u2019s Mirena IUD device in 2000 and since that time, the federal regulatory agency has received more than 45,000 adverse reports related to the intrauterine device. About 2 in 1,000 who received Mirena and other IUDs reported uterine perforation injuries. Such an injury may cause other side effects and complications, including organ damage, intestinal problems, infections, expulsion of the IUD device, and scarring. <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While high-profile lawsuits involving pseudotumor cerebri (IIH) and breast cancer risk have been dismissed or voluntarily withdrawn, litigation is ongoing for injuries like uterine perforation, IUD migration, and infection-related complications. Individuals harmed by the Mirena IUD may still qualify for legal compensation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Individuals who suffered post-surgery complications may be eligible for a compensation award by filing a Mirena IUD lawsuit.

The bases for these legal claims include false and misleading advertising and marketing, breach of implied and express warranty, producing a dangerous and defective medical device, and failure to warn healthcare providers and American consumers about serious side effects, risks, and complications that put women\u2019s health at risk.<\/p>\n<p>Many of the lawsuits allege Bayer knew about these risks but recklessly disregarded them and sold the IUD device in order to increase its corporate profits.<\/p>\n<h3>How do I file a Mirena IUD compensation claim?<\/h3>\n<p>Start the process by contacting the Mirena IUD <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cochranfirm.com\/washington-dc\/practice-areas\/defective-recalled-products\/\">product liability attorneys<\/a> of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cochranfirm.com\/washington-dc\/home\/\">The Cochran Firm, D.C.<\/a> Call 202-682-5800 during business hours or call our 24-hour number at 1-800-THE-FIRM (843-3476).
