Paragard Lawsuit
IUD Breakage and Copper Fragment Injuries
Paragard copper IUDs have been linked to device breakage, copper fragmentation, and serious uterine injuries. If you've been harmed, you may have a legal claim.
What Is Paragard?
Paragard is a copper intrauterine device (IUD) used for contraception. It's marketed as a long-acting, hormone-free birth control method that lasts up to 10 years.
Manufactured by Cooper Surgical, Paragard has been used by millions of women worldwide.
Alleged Defects and Injuries
Lawsuits allege that Paragard is prone to breaking or fracturing during insertion or removal, leaving copper fragments in the uterus. These fragments can cause severe pain, inflammation, infection, and reproductive damage.
Women report that the device has also migrated or perforated the uterine wall, causing internal injuries.
Defect Claims
Claims focus on design defects and failure to warn. Plaintiffs argue that Cooper Surgical knew about the fragmentation risk but failed to adequately warn users and healthcare providers.
The device allegedly lacks proper retention mechanisms and is vulnerable to breaking during normal use.
