New York,21st March 2013 - Mirena IUD lawsuits continue to be filed in courts throughout the country, Bernstein Liebhard LLP reports. Plaintiffs in federally-filed Mirena lawsuits recently petitioned the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPML) for the establishment of a consolidated proceeding in U.S. District Court, Northern District of Ohio. While Plaintiffs assert hundreds of similar Mirena complaints will likely be filed in the future, Bayer Healthcare Pharmaceuticals is opposing the proposed consolidation.(In re: Mirena IUD Products Liability Litigation, MDL No. 2434 (JPML))“We agree that it is likely a large number of Mirena IUD Lawsuits Mirena IUD lawsuits will eventually be filed.

Mirena Lawsuits
A long-acting birth control method, Mirena can remain in place for five years. It must be inserted into the uterus by a doctor, where it releases a low dose of a synthetic progestin. Despite a growing number of Mirena lawsuits, there has never been a Mirena recall. However, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) did issue a warning letter to Bayer Healthcare Pharmaceuticals in 2009, after finding one of its marketing campaigns overstated the efficacy of the IUD and minimized its risks.
Even in the absence of a Mirena recall, young women who used the IUD and suffered serious injuries following spontaneous migration of the device may still be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more.
