NuvaRing is a hormonal vaginal ring that releases a combination of etonogestrel, a synthetic progestin, and the estrogen, ethinyl estradiol. A number of studies have found an association between NuvaRing and serious side effects, including blood clots, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, heart attacks and stroke. Most recently, research published in The New England Journal of Medicine in June found that women who used combined hormonal devices, such as NuvaRing, were 2.5 to 3 times more likely to experience heart attacks and strokes compared to women who used other types of hormonal birth control. A study published the month prior in the British Medical Journal found that NuvaRing users had a 6.5 times higher risk of experiencing a serious blood clot compared to women who did not use any form of hormonal birth control. According to the study, the likelihood of experiencing a dangerous blood clot was 90% higher among users of the vaginal ring than it was for women taking combined oral contraceptives containing levonorgestrel.

More than 125 NuvaRing lawsuits are pending in the NuvaRing mass tort litigation in New Jersey. The trials scheduled to start in February will be the first to test Plaintiffs’ claims that NuvaRing is more likely to cause deadly blood clots, heart attacks and strokes than other forms of hormonal birth control. Known as bellwether, or test, cases, those trials could help determine how juries might rule in other NuvaRing lawsuits involving similar claims.
More than 800 additional NuvaRing lawsuits are pending in a federal litigation underway in U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Missouri (MDL No. 1964). The first trials have not yet been scheduled in that litigation.
There is still time for young women who may have been injured by NuvaRing, or their families, to file personal injury lawsuits seeking compensation for medical bills, pain and suffering, emotional distress and other damages.
