The Paragard IUD is a widely used contraceptive device implanted in thousands of women. Unfortunately, the Paragard has certain design flaws making it highly prone to fracture during removal. Women who suffered serious injuries due to their Paragard IUD fracturing during removal are pursuing legal action against the device manufacturer and may be entitled to financial compensation.

Paragard Litigation Updates

Our law firm is dedicated to keeping both attorneys and victims informed about the latest developments in the Paragard litigation. We understand that staying up to date on case filings, judicial rulings, and settlement discussions is critical for those navigating this complex legal landscape. That’s why we provide regular, detailed updates on the Paragard MDL, ensuring that plaintiffs and legal professionals have access to the most relevant and timely information. Whether it’s changes in discovery deadlines, bellwether trial progress, or regulatory concerns, our commitment is to transparency and advocacy in the pursuit of justice for those affected by the defective Paragard IUD.

Within the past year, many lawsuits have been filed against Teva Pharmaceuticals. These Paragard IUD lawsuits allege that suits allege that Teva’s IUD fractures upon removal, resulting in fragments being left in the uterus. The plaintiffs claimed this caused them to undergo additional removal procedures, which would have been unnecessary had this defect not occurred.  The purpose of this page is to provide a status update on the current state of the Paragard lawsuits as of 2025.

Indeed, the biggest news in the short history of this litigation was last month when these lawsuits were centralized into an MDL in Georgia federal court.  This means there will be a class action in which all federal court cases will be consolidated in Georgia under one judge.  So if you have a federal case in California, Texas, Florida, or anywhere, it will end up.

Let’s start out by talking about some of the science behind these cases.  Usually, what fuels litigation is that studies come out, and lawyers jump on these studies to bring lawsuits.  In this litigation, it might be a little bit backward.  It took a while for plaintiffs’ lawyers to pick up on the problems with Paragard.  Now a new study further supports the contention Paragard lawyers are making.

This page will look at who qualifies to file a Paragard IUD injury lawsuit. We will summarize the basic eligibility criteria that our firm is applying to screen potential Paragard lawsuits and describe the relevant injuries associated with these cases. We will also look at the possible settlement payouts for Paragard claims.

About the Paragard Lawsuits

The Paragard, an intrauterine device (IUD) manufactured by Teva Pharmaceuticals, has served as a long-term contraceptive method for women since the late 1980s. Despite its high efficacy in birth control, the Paragard IUD has faced various issues. It has a significant design flaw that frequently leads to the device fracturing within a woman’s body during attempted removal.
