Mirena Injury Lawyer Notes That Mirena Sales Continue to Rise
Bayer’s second quarter report continues to show strong healthcare sales, despite concern over a couple of their products. In fact, Mirena, Bayer’s intra-uterine system (IUS), was the leader in revenue increase for the company. Overall earnings for the company fell, however, due to funds being set aside to handle lawsuits regarding the Yasmin birth control pills. With the growing concern over Mirena, the company may need to be setting aside funds for those lawsuits as well.
Mirena is a device designed to prevent pregnancy. However, there is some uncertainty on exactly how it works. Lawsuits file as recent as July 26, 2012 in New Jersey indicate that not only is the action of the device unclear, it also poses risks that are not presented by Bayer. Bayer does state that the device may migrate if a patient’s uterus is accidentally perforated during insertion of the device. However, plaintiffs claim that spontaneous migration occurs, and the device has been found in other places besides its original intent. Obviously, such migration could cause serious damage to the internal organs.
Cases involve Mirena also claim that the company uses false advertising, marketing the device as a way to help busy moms feel better, without pointing out potential side effects such as breast tenderness, acne, and weight gain: all issues which are reported side effects. These seem to contradict the look good and feel great claims.
Patients who have suffered injury as a result of Mirena should not remain silent. While the company continues to bring in revenues, patients are suffering at the expense of misinformation. If you have experienced harm or side effects as a result of a Mirena insertion instead of the promised positive lifestyle changes, you may be eligible to file a claim against the company. Side effects include uterine wall perforation, pelvic inflammatory disease, ectopic pregnancy, headaches, ovarian cysts, breast tenderness, irregular spotting, and intrauterine pregnancy. If you are facing any of these side effects contact our team of attorneys today for a free consultation. They can help determine what legal recourse you may be eligible for.
