Mirena Lawyers at Bernstein Liebhard LLP Comment on Ruling Denying Defense Bid to Dismiss Kentucky Case
New York, New York (PRWEB) February 26, 2015 -- Mirena IUD lawsuits (http://www.mirenalawsuit2014.com/) filed on behalf of women who were allegedly harmed by the birth control device continue to move forward in courts around the country, Bernstein Liebhard LLP reports. According to an Order issued in the U.S. District Court, Western District of Kentucky on February 13th, the Court has denied Bayer Healthcare Pharmaceutical’s bid to dismiss a Mirena lawsuit pending in that state, after the defense asserted that the plaintiff inadequately pled claims regarding the company’s alleged failure to provide sufficient warnings about the risks associated with the Mirena IUD. (Case No. No. 5:14-101)
“Our Firm is representing numerous Mirena lawsuit plaintiffs who also raise questions about the risk warnings provided by Bayer. In this case, while the Court did find that the lawsuit’s failure to warn claims were inadequately pled, the plaintiff’s case was not dismissed and she was instead given 21 days to amend her complaint to include the requisite information,” says Bernstein Liebhard LLP, a nationwide law firm representing victims of defective drugs and medical devices. The Firm is currently offering free case evaluations to women who allege uterine perforations and other serious complications related to spontaneous migration of the Mirena IUD.
Mirena Litigation
Court records indicate that the case in Kentucky is just one of more than 2,800 Mirena lawsuits that have been filed in U.S. courts on behalf of women who were allegedly harmed by the IUD. Bernstein Liebhard LLP is actively filing cases in a multicounty litigation established in New Jersey’s Bergen County Superior Court for all state product liability claims that allege spontaneous migration of the Mirena IUD caused recipients to experience uterine perforations, organ damage, infertility and other serious complications. Among other things, the lawsuits claim that Bayer failed to provide adequate warnings about the risk of spontaneous migration, and point out that the labeling for the birth control device only cautions that migration may occur if the uterus is punctured while the IUD is being inserted. (In Re: Mirena Litigation; Case No. 297)
In addition to the cases pending in New Jersey, court filings show that an additional 1,179 Mirena IUD lawsuits that involve similar allegations related to spontaneous migration are currently pending in a federal multidistrict litigation underway in the U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York. (In re: Mirena IUD Products Liability Litigation, MDL No. 2434)
Women who allegedly suffered serious injuries due to spontaneous Mirena migration may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more.
