Our lawyers are handling Paragard IUD removal lawsuits in all 50 states. Over 3,500 women have filed a Paragard IUD lawsuit claiming that they were injured when a design defect IUD caused it to fracture during removal and leave foreign objects inside their bodies.
These lawsuits allege the Paragard intrauterine device breaks upon removal because it is made with inflexible plastic and degrades before the device expires. Over 3,000 lawsuits have been lodged against Teva Pharmaceutical and CooperSurgical by women who encountered issues such as breakage during removal or implantation or other complications associated with the Paragard birth control device.
This page provides the latest 2025 Paragard lawsuit update, with a new focus on the first trial in the MDL scheduled for January 20, 2026. Our lawyers also speculate on the potential settlement value of a Paragard lawsuit if the litigation is resolved through a global settlement with the manufacturers. When could there be a settlement? Soon. These cases could potentially be resolved by the end of 2025, with victims receiving payment in 2026 if the settlement is finalized quickly enough. Is that the most likely scenario? We are cautiously optimistic, as they say.
