Nuvaring Class Action Lawsuits Being Considered

In July 2007, a New Jersey man lost his healthy 31 year old wife to a stroke. The cause of her death wasn’t clogged arteries or illness. Doctors suspect her death was the result of NuvaRing blood clots. The produce is a new type of birth control that has only been on the market for a short time. However, this death and dozens of other problems have led some to consider filing NuvaRing class action lawsuits against the manufacturer.

At the basis of these NuvaRing class action lawsuits’ claims is the idea that patients were misled about the potential risks involved in taking this form of birth control. Although blood clots have always been a potential risk of traditional birth control pills, the NuvaRing blood clots seem to be a more serious problem and have led to other deaths, as well as amputations and other life-threatening complications.

One example was a North Carolina woman who reported that her sister had also recently had a stroke which left her paralyzed completely on one side of her body. Her sister was only 29 years old, and her doctors are pointing the finger at the NuvaRing blood clots as the cause of her current situation. No one probably told her that choosing this form of birth control could cause her to end up in a wheelchair for the rest of her life.

The most ironic part about the NuvaRing blood clots and one of the reasons why the NuvaRing class action lawsuits are important is that this birth control method was developed for the primary reason of having fewer side effects. The research had begun in the 1980’s but when the product was released in 2002 as a birth control option the testing was limited. Had more research been done on the potential serious side effects many of these women would not have had a stroke.

Unfortunately, even some of the research that did arise from the relatively short lived testing found the potential for these NuvaRing blood clots. One of the birth control chemicals in the product was found to cause a two-fold increase in the risk of the development of venous blood clots. These are the most dangerous clots because they can travel to the brain and cause a stroke, as well as paralysis and blindness.
