Failure to Warn Parents & Doctors of Cow’s Milk in Similac® and Enfamil®

What Is Necrotizing Enterocolitis?

Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a severe gastrointestinal issue that generally affects premature babies or babies born underweight. This condition tends to inflame the intestinal tissue, causing the tissue to die. In some instances, a hole may form in the baby’s intestine resulting in bacteria leaking into the abdomen or bloodstream.

NEC will usually develop within two to six weeks after birth, and if it is not correctly diagnosed or treated, it can lead to life-threatening issues and severe medical problems.

• Infant was premature;
• Infant was diagnosed with NEC;
• Infant was given formula or fortifier (except Prolacta) before being diagnosed with NEC;
• Infant suffered specific injuries: the child died, had one or more surgeries, has ongoing gastrointestinal or other bowel conditions, has cerebral palsy or other ongoing neurological conditions, or suffered other serious/lasting injuries; and
• Birthdate is 2004 or later


 

PARAGARD®

IUD FRACTURES DURING REMOVAL

Thousands of women and several peer-reviewed medical studies have reported broken Paragard arms perforating organs requiring IUD arm removal surgery. If you or a loved one had a Paragard IUD and were injured, fill out the form below for a FREE Paragard lawsuit claim review!

Like all IUD devices, the Paragard IUD is designed to be removable from the woman’s body at any time. The Paragard IUD is supposed to remain fully intact during usage and the removal process. It has recently been discovered, however, that the Paragard IUD has a design defect that causes the device to fracture inside the woman’s body during removal.

The Paragard IUD device has a special removal thread that hangs down from the base of the device into the woman’s vagina. When it is time to remove the Paragard, the doctor is supposed to locate this thread and simply pull the device out. The base of the Paragard device has two T-shaped arms which hold the device in place. These arms are made of a flexible type of plastic that is supposed to bend upwards to enable the device to be pulled out through the cervix.

In many cases, however, the flexible plastic in the arms at the base of the Paragard appears to get brittle and hard after years inside the body. As a result, the arms do not flex upward like they are supposed to when doctors attempt to remove the IUD. When this happens on or both of the plastic arms of the Paragard IUD often fracture and break off into fragments inside the woman’s body.

What Injuries Do Fractured Paragard® IUDs Cause?

When the Paragard IUD fractures during removal, the fragmented arms of the device that break off inside the woman’s body can cause various internal injuries. The fragments of the Paragard arms usually end up embedded in the uterine wall, which can cause extreme and chronic pain. In many cases, the arm fragments eventually puncture through the wall of the uterus and end up impacting other organs. This can cause several very serious health problems including:

  • Chronic abdominal pain
  • Vaginal bleeding
  • Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID)
  • Infection
  • Infertility
