Farmer Jaffe Weissing to Review Mirena® IUD Injury Cases

Fort Lauderdale, FL - Mirena®, manufactured by Bayer Heathcare Pharmaceuticals, is a form of birth control for women which was later expanded to treat heavy menstrual bleeding in women. The Mirena® device is placed in the uterus to prevent pregnancy. The flexible Intrauterin Device (IUD) releases small amounts of hormones into the uterus and can be used up to five years, according to Bayer.

The Food & Drug Administration (FDA) approved Mirena® for use in women in 2000. Since then, the FDA has received a total of 45,969 adverse event reports (side effects and complications) associated with Mirena® IUD between November 1, 1997 and June 30, 2012. According to data by Adverse Events (www.adverseevents.com), Mirena® IUD was the primary suspect cause in 45,700 of these reports.

Reported Mirena’s® side effects have included device expulsion, device dislocation, device embedment, perforation or punctures, vaginal hemorrhage, scarring, pelvic inflammatory disease (infection), pregnancy, diminished pregnancy (in some cases hysterectomy) and surgical removal.

The law firm of Farmer, Jaffe, Weissing, Edwards, Fistos & Lehrman is actively investigating and offering free case evaluation to women that claim they have suffered personal injuries from use of the Mirena® IUD. We seek to hold Bayer Healthcare Pharmaceuticals accountable for manufacturing and selling a product that we believe is dangerous, was over promoted through deceptive advertising and concealed the risk of complications.
