NuvaRing Lawyers Continue to Review Lawsuits for Failure to Warn of Blood Clots
Since the FDA approved NuvaRing birth control as a once-monthly vaginal contraceptive ring in October 2001, Organon USA has continued to provide inadequate and insufficient warnings about the risk of potentially life-threatening blood clots that may result in heart attacks, strokes, pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis or death.

Ortho Evra Lawsuit: Birth control patch side effects were hidden from FDA
According to federal court filings in the Ortho Evra litigation, Johnson & Johnson hid data from the FDA about their birth control patch’s side effects and failed to address flaws in the manufacturing process which could increase the risk of serious and potentially fatal problems. Although lawyers for both sides have been bound by rules limiting public disclosure of evidence learned during discovery in Ortho Evra lawsuits, the factual allegations were publicly released as part of the plaintiffs’ opposition to a motion by Johnson & Johnson to dismiss the claims of women injured by their birth control patch.
