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 omission allegedly led to inflated costs for both consumers and third-party payors.

This Walgreens class action lawsuit settlement has been a long time in coming.  This lawsuit was filed eight years ago in 2017.

Apple has agreed to pay $20 million to settle a defective watch class action lawsuit that alleged design defects in several Apple Watch models caused battery swelling, leading to costly damages. The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, claimed that Apple did not allocate enough internal space in certain models to accommodate battery expansion, a known and expected phenomenon in lithium-ion batteries.

As a result, plaintiffs alleged that when the battery swelled, it exerted pressure on the watch’s screen, causing the screen to detach, crack, or shatter entirely. Some users also reported injuries from broken glass when the screen popped off unexpectedly. The lawsuit further accused Apple of failing to properly disclose the risk of battery swelling and not covering the issue under its warranty policy. This was all resolved with a $20 million.  The good news? If you qualify, getting your settlement money will be easy. The bad news is that compensation payouts for victims, as we explain below, is not much.
