Women use various types of birth control for their reproductive health and to responsibly plan their pregnancies. Drug makers have been trying for years to improve the traditional pills and believed they finally hit on a solution with the advent of low-dose estrogen products, such as NuvaRing. Now the serious NuvaRing side effects, such as the greater risk of developing a blood clot, are leading patients and their families to a law firm to file NuvaRing class action lawsuits.
Most of the birth control products used by women today include estrogen. The presence of the estrogen in the woman’s body can prevent pregnancy by fooling it into believing conception has already taken place. However, some women had problems using traditional pills so a low-dose estrogen product was released. Now that product may be the subject of NuvaRing class action lawsuits because it can lead to death and other serious complications whose risks may have been minimized by the product’s warning labels.
The main issue is the NuvaRing side effects. Although the product can lead to many relatively benign problems such as headaches and upper respiratory infections, the biggest risk is the blood clot. Because the clot could develop and end up blocking the blood flow to the brain or heart resulting in paralysis, blindness, or sudden death, at least one law firm has considered filing NuvaRing class action lawsuits against the product’s manufacturer in order to help the patients and their families, as well as to bring more attention to this problem.
One area of contention is the warning labels about NuvaRing side effects. They do mention the risk of blood clot development but seem to minimize that risk. Although several separate studies have shown a significant increase in the risk when the hormone desogestrel (one of NuvaRing’s active ingredients) is used in birth control, the warnings to doctors and to patients claim that the increased risk of these problems with NuvaRing is not known.
Unfortunately, many women and their families have found out the hard way that NuvaRing side effects can be quite severe and can even cost them their lives. In Colorado, for example, one woman’s 23 year old sister died from a pulmonary embolism after she had been using the product. Neither she nor her family knew about this increased risk. Others like her are beginning to seek out a law firm to help them file NuvaRing class action lawsuits which can, hopefully, get the dangerous birth control off the market.

In order to file a Medtronic Class Action Lawsuit, one needs to have extensive knowledge of the problems pertaining to Medtronic and its defibrillators. People in thousands already had these devices implanted be the time the Medtronic recall was announced. Intended to adjust a patient’s irregular heart beat, the defibrillators from Medtronic would discharge a tiny electric shocks when the heart required to be brought back into a steady rhythm. The defibrillator was positioned within the patient’s chest by a surgical process and the Sprint Fidelis Wire Leads were positioned inside a vein. Although initially the device seemed to show great promise in solving faulty heart beats, it wasn’t long before patients with the implants started to bear the brunt of the defects. And so the defective product lawsuits started pouring in.
Defective product lawsuits entail faulty and unfairly hazardous products that result in injuries to the person and in some cases, even death. Product manufacturers are legally responsible for defects in design, inappropriate safety devices and defects in manufacturing which can cause damage.
Product liability attorneys will assess situations concerning defective products that result in physical injury like fractures, burns, blindness and head injury. Defective product lawsuits can be filed against producers for defects in design, inappropriate safety devices and defects in manufacturing and even marketing wherein they fail to caution the consumer against likely dangers. Personal injury, damage to property and death from defective and recalled products all cause a loss of over 500 billion dollars to the consumers each year.
A product is said to be defective if it can result in harm to the person due to bad design, faulty manufacturing, inadequate testing or mislabeling or distorted advertising and sales.
Bad design: If the product is not designed well in the first place it might turn out to be dangerous. Sometimes such products do find their way to the market prior to the defect being found out and then needs to be recalled. But recalls are often pretty late and a lot of people who might have bought the product won’t even know that it has been recalled.
Defects in manufacturing: Although a product may be designed well, it might not be manufactured properly. In this situation only some products out of a whole lot might be defective. Here again they might need to be recalled but it gives you enough reason to file for a defective product lawsuit.
Inadequate testing: This is when not enough testing is done at realistic levels to verify the safety of the products like in the case of auto crash testing.
Mislabeling or distorted advertising and sales: Even if the above points are taken care of, you might still have defects in the products. If the label pasted on the product is ambiguous and not straightforward, even that could be considered to be a product defect. If you see an absence of warning labels or incomplete ones on a product which has hidden threats, you can file a defective product lawsuit. A negligent or purposeful falsification pertaining to a product could also invite a defective product lawsuit.
A few years after the Medtronic defibrillators came into the market, the patients implanted with the same started to feel the defects for some model numbers, namely, Sprint Fidelis 6930, Sprint Fidelis 6931, Sprint Fidelis 6948 and Sprint Fidelis 6949. This led to a quite a number of Medtronic class action lawsuits. The defect starts from the Spring Fidelis Wire Leads which are set within the patient’s chest together with the main device. The defect was noticed when patients started complaining about getting painful and random shocks. Although the device was confirmed to be defective, Medtronic didn’t do much to make patients with the devices implanted aware of the probable defect related with these defibrillator models. If you or one of your family members or anyone you know has a defibrillator implanted and suspects that it might be defective, get in touch with a doctor at once to get medical guidance.
If you or a dear one has been suffering Medtronic defibrillator defects, you might be all set to file a Medtronic class action lawsuit. You can start by choosing a good Medtronic lawyer. Next, you should collect all the documentation you can regarding the origin of the injury together with medical records, record of random shocks suffered besides other medical papers that might assist your Medtronic class action lawsuit attorney to understand your case better. After you have chosen your Medtronic class action lawsuit lawyer, you have to be honest and open with him so that he can represent you effectively.
