The Paragard IUD lawsuit is a collection of civil claims against Cooper Surgical and Teva Pharmaceuticals, the makers of the Paragard IUD.
The lawsuits were filed by women who have sustained injuries due to the defective Paragard intrauterine device (IUD).
The Paragard lawsuits filed were on the grounds that the company was negligent on two fronts.
First, Cooper Surgical and Teva Pharmaceuticals failed to warn the public of the risks associated with using their product.
This oversight renders these companies liable for injuries from using their intrauterine device.
Second, these companies knowingly distributed defective intrauterine devices and didn’t implement timely recalls.
By failing to recall their defective Paragard IUDs, they’ve rendered themselves vulnerable to product liability litigation.
The first Paragard IUD injury lawsuits were filed in early 2020.
At the time, there were a few hundred cases.
However, as time passed, the number of victims increased — and so did the lawsuits filed.
With new Paragard IUD lawsuits being filed, the pending Paragard IUD lawsuits were consolidated into a Paragard MDL.
The MDL was filed as MDL 2974 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia.
MDL judge Leigh Martin May will preside over the litigation’s proceedings.
As of September 2023, the Paragard IUD litigation now has over 2,000 pending Paragard IUD lawsuits.
With the first Paragard Bellwether trials set for October 28, 2024, we are accepting new Paragard IUD lawsuits.

The Defendants in the Paragard IUD Lawsuits
Paragard Lawsuits are being filed against the manufacturers of the device.
These companies are Teva Pharmaceuticals and Cooper Surgical.
Both are named in the Paragard lawsuits for their role in manufacturing and distributing defective Paragard IUDs that have potentially injured thousands of women.
Teva Pharmaceuticals
Teva Pharmaceuticals is an Israeli pharmaceutical company, based in Tel Aviv, Israel.
The company is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of pharmaceutical products, ranging from generic medications to branded drugs.
The company also manufactured the Paragard IUD.
Teva Pharmaceuticals has multinational coverage, with branches and subsidiaries in more than 60 countries.
The company also has a branch in the United States, Teva Pharmaceuticals USA.
Cooper Surgical
Cooper Surgical is one of the world’s leading providers of fertility solutions and maternal and child products.
As a fertility solutions provider, the company distributes various medical devices for maternal reproductive health, including copper intrauterine device products like the Paragard IUD.
Cooper Surgical is also one of the companies named in the Paragard lawsuits for its distribution of defective Paragard IUDs.
In November 2017, Cooper Surgical completed the acquisition of the Paragard IUD brand from Teva Pharmaceuticals.
The number of women who have filed lawsuits for injuries related to Paragard IUD failure is now over 2,200.
The women who filed lawsuits experienced various injuries and complications from defective Paragard IUDs, including health effects such as pelvic inflammatory disease and ectopic pregnancy.
The Paragard Lawsuit is in the pre-trial stages, and our Paragard IUD lawyers are seeing more new Paragard IUD lawsuits being filed.
According to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, the first Bellwether trials will transpire on October 28, 2024.
With the litigation in its pre-trial phase, no settlements have been awarded.
However, based on past product liability litigations we’ve handled, we can expect Paragard settlements amounting to $100,000 to $400,000 per individual.
These Paragard Lawsuit settlement projections are by no means a guarantee of financial compensation in your Paragard Lawsuit claim.
Last January 2023, Judge M. Gino Brogdon was appointed the settlement mediator for the litigation.
With a settlement mediator in the Paragard lawsuits, we can expect negotiations involving a global Paragard settlement in the near future.
At TorHoerman Law, we will continue to keep up with the latest developments in the ongoing Paragard IUD device lawsuits.

Pelvic inflammatory disease is a severe infection affecting the female reproductive organs.
This infection typically arises due to the entry of bacteria from the vagina and cervix into the upper genital tract.
The bacterial entry leads to inflammation and potential long-term complications.
PID manifests as sharp pelvic pain, discomfort during intercourse, abnormal vaginal discharge, high fever, and, in severe cases, can cause infertility.
If left untreated or not promptly diagnosed, PID can lead to the formation of abscesses, chronic pelvic pain, and an increased risk of ectopic pregnancies.
Moreover, PID can scar the fallopian tubes, obstructing the normal path of the egg from the ovaries to the uterus.
As a result, a woman with PID can be at risk of infertility.
Treating and managing the symptoms requires early detection.
Also, physicians will order aggressive antibiotic therapy to offset the ongoing pelvic infection.
Uterine Wall Perforation
Uterine perforation can occur when the Paragard IUD punctures the uterine or cervical wall.
This event can result in significant discomfort, abnormal bleeding, and the possibility of infection.
In severe cases, surgical intervention becomes necessary to mend the damaged tissue, preventing further complications, and ensuring the patient’s well-being.
Embedment Broken IUD Pieces in the Uterus or Other Reproductive Organs
When a Paragard IUD fractures upon removal, the broken pieces can embed in the uterine wall or other organs like the bladder or bowel.
This situation causes persistent pain, irregular bleeding, and an increased susceptibility to infections.
When it happens, surgical removal of the embedded device is often the only viable solution and requires a delicate procedure to mitigate risks and safeguard the patient’s health.
Infertility
One of the gravest concerns associated with the Paragard IUD is the heightened risk of infertility.
During the removal process, the copper IUD device can break and leave remnants that infect and perforate the uterine cavity and other structures.
The resulting tissue damage can lead to infections that can affect the fallopian tubes, uterine cavity, and ovaries.
With these structures infected and damaged, women can risk infertility.
The inability to conceive after a year of attempting to become pregnant can lead to emotional distress and strain on relationships.
For this reason, Paragard IUD lawsuit claims will often include non-economic damages like pain and suffering.
Ectopic Pregnancy
Defective Paragard IUD devices have also led to ectopic pregnancies.
Anectopic pregnancy is an abnormal pregnancy where a fertilized egg implants and begins to grow outside the uterus, commonly in the fallopian tubes.
The presence of an IUD like the Paragard IUD can increase the risk of ectopic pregnancies, posing significant health risks to individuals.
Ectopic pregnancies are not viable and can lead to life-threatening complications if not promptly addressed.
Symptoms include sharp abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding, dizziness, and shoulder pain.
Due to the limited space in the fallopian tubes, the growing embryo can rupture the tube, causing internal bleeding.
This is a medical emergency that requires immediate surgical intervention to prevent severe consequences.
Other Paragard IUD Complications
Besides the injuries mentioned, broken Paragard IUD devices have also led to other complications.
