Case Overview
The Paragard IUD is a copper intrauterine device used for long-term birth control. While marketed as safe and hormone-free, numerous women have reported the device breaking during removal, leaving fragments embedded in the uterus. These broken pieces can migrate through the uterine wall, causing perforation, infection, and the need for invasive surgical procedures to remove the fragments.

Bellwether cases selected for trial are being prepared. New claims continue to be filed as more women learn that their complications may be linked to a fractured Paragard device.
