Hissey Kientz, LLP Now Offering Mirena IUD Lawsuit Consultations
Austin, Texas (PRWEB) January 30, 2014 -- The law firm of Hissey Kientz, LLP is announcing that it will provide free legal consultations to individuals who have suffered from Mirena IUD complications. Patients who have been harmed by Mirena devices can choose to submit lawsuit inquiries through a contact form provided on the Mirena Lawsuit Information website (mirenalawsuithelp.com) in addition to calling toll-free at 1-866-275-4454.
According to court documents, over 450 Mirena IUD lawsuits are currently pending in the New Jersey Mirena litigation. More than 300 Mirena lawsuits involving similar allegations have also been filed in a federal multidistrict litigation underway in U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York. (In re: Mirena IUD Products Liability Litigation, MDL No. 2434.)
According to a May 2013 NBC News Report, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has logged more than 70,000 complaints about the Mirena IUD since the birth control device went to market in 2000. The Mirena complaints include reports of serious complications such as ectopic pregnancy, uterine perforation, device migration pelvic inflammatory disease, abnormal vaginal bleeding, infection, vaginal scarring and IUD expulsion.*
The FDA issued two warning letters in 2009 to Mirena manufacturer Bayer Pharmaceuticals. The letters stated that Bayer “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 published on the social networking website Mom Central.**
Patients who have experienced uterine perforation, device migration, 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.
