What Is the Paragard IUD?

The Paragard IUD is a non-hormonal contraceptive device made of copper, designed to prevent pregnancy for up to 10 years. It has been widely used by women seeking a long-term, hormone-free birth control option. However, in recent years, Paragard has come under scrutiny due to reports of serious complications associated with its use.


Why Are Lawsuits Being Filed?

Numerous women have reported severe injuries linked to the Paragard IUD, particularly during the removal process. Some of the most common complications include:

  • Device breakage: The IUD can break apart during removal, leaving fragments in the uterus.

  • Surgical removal: Broken pieces of the device may require surgery to be removed, which can lead to further complications.

  • Organ damage: In some cases, broken pieces of the IUD have caused damage to surrounding organs, including the uterus and fallopian tubes.

  • Infections and scarring: Injuries can result in painful infections, scarring, and long-term reproductive issues.


Many of the women affected by these complications claim they were not adequately warned about the risks of device breakage or the severity of the possible injuries.


Who Can File a Paragard IUD Lawsuit?

If you have experienced any of the following after using a Paragard IUD, you may have grounds for taking legal action:

  • Breakage of the IUD during removal

  • The need for surgery to remove broken fragments

  • Painful infections, scarring, or damage to reproductive organs

  • Any other significant medical complications linked to the device


It’s important to consult with an attorney to determine whether your case qualifies. Our team at Jinks Crow is here to provide a thorough review of your circumstances and help you understand your legal options.


Why Should You Act Now?

There are time limits, known as statutes of limitations, that restrict how long you have to file a lawsuit after experiencing harm. Acting quickly ensures that your claim is filed within the legal timeframe and that evidence related to your case is preserved. Additionally, by speaking with a lawyer sooner rather than later, you’ll have a clearer understanding of your rights and options moving forward.
