Paragard IUD Lawsuit
At Flint Cooper, we are dedicated to defending the rights of individuals who have been adversely affected by the Paragard IUD, a widely used intrauterine device (IUD) for long-term contraception. Teva Pharmaceuticals, the manufacturer of Paragard, faces allegations of failing to adequately warn patients and healthcare providers about the risks associated with the device, including device breakage, expulsion and other serious complications.
These allegations underscore a significant breach of trust between Teva Pharmaceuticals and the patients who have relied on Paragard for their contraceptive needs, leaving many blindsided by the complications linked to the device.
If you have used the Paragard IUD and have suffered from device breakage, expulsion or other related health complications, you may be entitled to compensation. We encourage you to schedule a free consultation with Flint Cooper at +1 618.620.1207 to discuss your legal options and potential recourse.
Paragard IUDs were marketed as a safe non-hormonal method of contraception, and the women who have used them were never led to believe that it may lead to traumatic injury. The pain and suffering endured by these women is inexcusable and demands swift legal action.

Functions and Risks of Paragard IUD
Paragard is a non-hormonal intrauterine device made of plastic and copper, designed to prevent pregnancy for up to 10 years. It is a T-shaped device inserted into the uterus by a healthcare provider.
While Paragard is effective in preventing pregnancy, it has been associated with several risks and complications, including:
- Pieces breaking and getting lodged in organs
- Pieces that cannot be removed from the body
- Pieces left in the body, causing infections and allergic reactions
- IUD shifting positions
- Pain
- Infection
- Perforation of the cervix or uterus
- Infertility
- Need for surgical intervention such as laparoscopy or laparotomy and hysterectomy
