Paragard Problems

Women across the country who were implanted with ParaGard IUD’s have filed individual lawsuits alleging that the ParaGard IUDs are defective and can break when the device is removed. Women who experience breakage of the IUD may suffer from any of the following complications:

  • Piece of the IUD becomes embedded in the uterus
  • Invasive surgeries to remove the broken IUD
  • Hysteroscopy and Hysterectomy procedures
  • Perforation of the uterus
  • Migration of the broken piece of the IUD
  • Infections
  • Reproductive health concerns
