We've mentioned the reports of 300 or so federal products liability suits alleging injury from NuvaRing® a few times before, but it certainly seems as though the pace of the filings is accelerating, of late. From the Louisiana Record, then -- a local press report:
. . . .[Another plaintiff, this time in New Orleans] has filed suit against the manufacturers of the birth control product NuvaRing®, alleging the product caused her to suffer a blood clot within a vein.
[The woman] filed suit against Organon Pharmaceuticals USA, Organon International and Schering-Plough Corp. on July 16 in federal court in New Orleans.
She claims she was prescribed NuvaRing in January 2005 and suffered a venous thromboembolism after she began using the drug. Lorusso says it was not until August 2009 that she became aware of the risks associated with NuvaRing through an advertisement. . . .
The case has been assigned to Judge Ivan L.R. Lemelle. . . .
I'll keep an eye on the arc of these cases.
