In 2009, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued two warning letters to Bayer Pharmaceuticals stating that the manufacturer “presents unsubstantiated claims, minimizes the risks of using Mirena, and includes false or misleading presentations regarding Mirena.” The FDA warning letters were issued in response to Mirena online advertisements and videos.*
According to a June 18 Kansas City NBC news report, the FDA has logged more than 70,000 complaints about the Mirena IUD since 2000. Mirena complaints include reports of serious complications such as ectopic pregnancy, uterine perforation, device migration pelvic inflammatory disease, abnormal vaginal bleeding and IUD expulsion.**
Patients who experienced uterine perforation, IUD migration, ectopic pregnancy or other serious side effects after being implanted with a Mirena IUD may wish to speak with a lawyer to find out if they are eligible to file a lawsuit.
