Essure and Dangerous Side Effects

Essure is an implantable medical device used as a permanent form of birth control. Essure coils are placed into a woman’s fallopian tubes through vaginal insertion without the need for surgery. Scar tissue covers the coils over time, creating a permanent barrier in the fallopian tubes, thereby preventing fertilization.

Women have opted for the Essure implant, which was developed and marketed by pharmaceutical giant Bayer and approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2002 because it is a convenient, permanent, and noninvasive procedure that can be done in a doctor’s office. However, this birth control device has been found to be harmful in recent years.

In July 2018, Bayer announced that it would discontinue sales of Essure, halting the production and distribution of the device after Dec. 31, 2018. This announcement followed the FDA’s decision to restrict sales to doctors in April 2018 to ensure women were adequately informed of the many risks associated with Essure. Tens of thousands of lawsuits filed against Bayer regarding the harm caused by their Essure birth control device.

If you have had Essure implanted and have suffered adverse side effects, you may be entitled to compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages.

Why is Essure so Dangerous?

Over 5,000 adverse side effects – including chronic pain, damage to the uterus, migration of the device into the abdomen, and ectopic pregnancy – have been reported to the FDA in connection with the Essure birth control device. Although the exact cause of the device’s failure has not been determined, some experts think a manufacturing issue could be responsible for many of its problems. Others have suggested that metals present in the device have caused an allergic reaction in some women, leading to a variety of other symptoms and complications.

Thousands of women have come forward, saying the Essure birth control device has caused them to suffer severe and painful side effects. The FDA continues to monitor the status of the device. For the next five years, the agency will continue to publish annual reports, releasing the results to the public every September through 2023.

Although Bayer’s decision to end sales of Essure will protect women from this point forward from this dangerous product, the thousands of women who did undergo an Essure procedure may be entitled to seek compensation for the harm it caused them. The dedicated Essure lawsuit attorneys at The Driscoll Firm, LLC are ready to review claims on behalf of victims who developed health complications after receiving the Essure implant.

Medical Bills. Victims of Essure may be able to recover compensation for past and future medical bills. A large portion of the majority of personal injury lawsuits are medical bills, and an Essure lawsuit is no different.

Corrective Surgeries. Women who underwent defective device removal surgery may have experienced severe complications that led to more surgeries. Those corrective surgeries can be part of the Essure lawsuit’s settlement. Like device removal surgeries, the cost of corrective surgeries may also be denied by insurers.
Pain and Suffering. Many women who have suffered adverse side effects of Essure have experienced considerable mental anguish. The emotional and physical stress of dealing with a defective Essure device can be traumatic. If your case is successful, your lawsuit settlement may include compensation for pain and suffering.
Lost Wages. Because of the serious complications and surgeries that can result, many women miss time from work. If you missed work because of a harmful side effect or corrective surgery, an Essure lawsuit might allow you to recover those lost wages.
Punitive Damages. Punitive damages are awarded in rare cases when there was gross negligence by the defendant.
