Paragard IUD Products Liability Litigation

Connecticut Paragard IUD Lawsuit Attorneys

Serious Complications Linked to Defective Birth Control Devices

The Paragard IUD was marketed to women as a safe, long-lasting, non-hormonal birth control option, but thousands of users have suffered serious complications including device breakage, migration, uterine perforation, and the need for invasive surgical removal. Many women have endured pain, infection, fertility issues, and lasting health consequences as a result of using the device. At BBB Attorneys, we understand how distressing these complications are for women who trusted the product to protect their reproductive health, and we are committed to helping affected individuals throughout Connecticut pursue accountability and compensation from the manufacturer responsible.


The Paragard IUD lawsuits allege that Teva Pharmaceuticals and its subsidiary CooperSurgical knew or should have known that the device was defectively designed and prone to breaking, fragmenting, and migrating during use or removal. Plaintiffs claim that the companies failed to warn patients and healthcare providers about these risks, leading to serious physical and emotional harm. Lawsuits have named the manufacturers as well as other parties involved in marketing and distribution. If you or a loved one suffered complications from a Paragard IUD, BBB Attorneys is prepared to help you understand your legal options and pursue the compensation you deserve.

How Did Paragard IUD Complications Happen?

The claims involving the Paragard IUD center on allegations that the device is defectively designed and prone to serious complications during use, expulsion, or removal. Many women received the IUD with the expectation of safe, long-term birth control, only to later face painful and dangerous complications when the device broke, migrated, or perforated the uterus. Lawsuits allege that Teva Pharmaceuticals and CooperSurgical concealed or failed to disclose the known risks associated with the device and continued to market it as a safe long-term contraceptive option.


Some of the most common complications linked to the Paragard IUD include:

  • Device breakage during use or removal
  • Migration of the device within the body
  • Uterine perforation
  • Embedment of the device in tissue
  • Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)
  • Increased risk of ectopic pregnancy
  • Severe pain and infection
  • Need for surgical removal and potential infertility

Paragard IUD complications can have devastating consequences for women, often requiring emergency surgery, extended medical treatment, and ongoing care. Patients may suffer chronic pelvic pain, severe infections, damage to surrounding organs, fertility issues, and lasting effects on quality of life. In some cases, fragments of the broken device can become embedded in tissue and require multiple surgical attempts to remove. Beyond the physical injuries, many women experience significant emotional distress, anxiety, and concerns about future fertility and reproductive health. BBB Attorneys understands the seriousness of these injuries and is committed to helping affected patients pursue compensation for medical treatment, lost income, pain and suffering, and other damages caused by defective Paragard IUDs.

YOU MAY HAVE QUESTIONS

What is a Paragard IUD?
The Paragard IUD is a T-shaped plastic intrauterine device used for long-term birth control. Unlike hormonal IUDs, Paragard works by releasing copper ions that prevent fertilization of an egg. The device is designed to be left in place for up to 10 years, making it one of the longest-lasting birth control methods available. Despite its widespread use, Paragard has been linked to serious complications in many women, including device breakage, migration, and uterine perforation, leading to widespread product liability litigation.
What are the Paragard IUD lawsuits about?
The Paragard IUD lawsuits allege that the device is defectively designed and that the manufacturer, Teva Pharmaceuticals, and its subsidiary CooperSurgical, failed to warn patients of the risks associated with the product. Plaintiffs claim that the Paragard's T-shaped design and copper component can cause the device to break, fragment, and migrate beyond the uterus into other areas of the body. Lawsuits further allege that the manufacturers knew or should have known about these risks but failed to disclose them to patients and healthcare providers.
What injuries are linked to the Paragard IUD?
Paragard IUD users have reported a wide range of serious complications, including device breakage during use or removal, migration of the device within the body, expulsion of the device, perforation of the uterus and surrounding organs, pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), increased risk of ectopic pregnancy, embedment of the device in tissue, severe pain, infection, infertility, and the need for surgical removal. In many cases, women have been forced to undergo painful and expensive surgeries to remove embedded or fragmented device pieces.
Who may qualify for a Paragard IUD lawsuit?
Individuals may qualify for a Paragard IUD lawsuit if they had a Paragard IUD placed and later experienced complications such as device breakage, migration, expulsion, uterine perforation, embedment, infection, or the need for surgical removal. Eligibility depends on the specific complications suffered, the timing of the device placement, and supporting medical evidence. BBB Attorneys provides a complimentary case review to evaluate eligibility and determine the strongest legal options available.
What compensation can Paragard IUD victims recover?
Paragard IUD lawsuit victims may be able to recover compensation for past and future medical expenses, surgical removal costs, hospitalizations, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of fertility, and other related damages. Plaintiffs may also be eligible for punitive damages if defendants are found to have acted with gross negligence or malice. The amount of compensation depends on the severity of the complications, the impact on the patient's life, and the strength of the supporting evidence.
