New York, New York (PRWEB) September 27, 2014 -- Mirena lawsuits (http://www.injurybeacon.com/mirena-iud/lawsuit/) continue to move forward in the multicounty litigation now underway in New Jersey’s Bergen County Superior Court, Bernstein Liebhard LLP reports. According to a Case Management Order issued on September 23, 2014, Defendants must, on a monthly basis, provide Plaintiffs with a list of cases for which Plaintiff’s Fact Sheets have not been filed in a timely fashion, and for which Defendants plan to file a Motion to Dismiss. The Order further stipulates that Plaintiffs must file the Fact Sheet or request an extension from the Court at least two days prior to the Motion Filing Date. (In Re: Mirena Litigation; Case No. 297)
“Our Firm is representing numerous women in this litigation who allegedly suffered serious Mirena complications, allegedly due to spontaneous migration of the IUD. We are pleased to see this proceeding moving forward,” says Bernstein Liebhard LLP, a nationwide law firm representing victims of defective drugs and medical devices. The Firm continues to offer free case evaluations to alleged victims of Mirena complications associated with spontaneous migration of the device.
Mirena Litigation
The Mirena IUD is a long-acting contraceptive that was initially approved by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) in 2000. In 2009, the FDA also approved Mirena for the prevention of heavy menstrual bleeding in women who wish to use an IUD as their primary method of birth control. That same year, the FDA issued a Warning Letter to Bayer after finding that one of the company’s Mirena promotions made misleading claims about the safety and efficacy of the IUD.
Court documents indicate that at least 1,093 Mirena IUD lawsuits are now pending the litigation underway in Bergen County Superior Court. All of the complaints allege that Bayer Healthcare Pharmaceuticals failed to warn that spontaneous IUD migration may occur after Mirena has been correctly inserted into the uterus by a healthcare provider. The lawsuits further claim that this occurrence caused Plaintiffs to experience a number of serious and painful Mirena complications, including uterine perforations, scarring, adhesions, infections and organ damage.
According to court records, an additional 937 complaints involving similar allegations have 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)
Women who were allegedly harmed due to spontaneous migration of a Mirena IUD may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages.
