Who’s Affected
Essure, manufactured by Bayer HealthCare, is marketed as a permanent, non-surgical form of birth control. When it was released, it was considered a breakthrough contraceptive device for women who wished to be permanently sterile.
However, many women who have used Essure have complained of serious complications from the birth control implant, including bloating, rashes, allergic reactions, excessive bleeding, organ perforation, pelvic pain, miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy. They allege they were not informed about these Essure side effects.
If you or a loved one have experienced severe Essure complications, you may have a legal claim. Fill out the form on this page now!
What is Essure Birth Control?
Essure is a form of permanent, non-hormonal birth control. It was originally manufactured by a company called Conceptus before it was purchased by Bayer.
During the non-surgical implantation procedure, two flexible Essure coils made of metal and polyester are inserted through the vagina and uterus and are placed inside each fallopian tube. Tissue begins to develop around the metal coils over the course of a few months, blocking conception. Women who receive the Essure birth control implant must be evaluated by their doctors after three months to ensure that the procedure worked and that they are no longer able to get pregnant.
Essure is the only non-surgical method of sterilization for women who want permanent birth control. It has been touted as a safer alternative to tubal ligation.
Essure birth control was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2002. It was approved by the FDA though a fast-track review system because it provided an alternative to surgical sterilization and had a much faster recovery time. Now, however, a growing number of women are concerned that the Essure coils were approved before their risks had adequately been investigated.
Essure Complications
Hundreds of thousands of women looking for a permanent birth control option have chosen Essure birth control. However, since it was approved, more than 4,500 adverse event reports have been filed with the FDA regarding Essure complications.
Consumer advocate Erin Brockovich has helped to lead a campaign seeking to recall Essure birth control. She, along with thousands across the United States, has complained that Essure coils never should have received approval from the FDA. They are lobbying the federal agency to remove the contraceptive device from the market.
Essure Birth Control Lawsuits
An Essure lawsuit has been filed against Bayer, accusing the drug manufacturer of misleading women about the permanent birth control. The plaintiff is challenging the premarket approval of Essure, which is currently shielding Bayer from product liability. According to the Essure birth control lawsuit, Essure’s approval was based on questionable studies, and the birth control should not have been put on the market without further study.
