According to several sources multiple lawsuits have begun linking the use of the birth control device NuvaRing with a risk of stroke blood clots pulmonary embolism and infarction. Many suits allege the manufacturer Organon USA failed to disclose the risk of higher hormone levels and thus have not adequately conveyed to consumers the difference between using the device and taking another contraceptive.

Drug injury claims break down essentially into two forms a personal injury matter and a product liability matter. On the one hand if an injury can be directly linked to the use of some medication or device that could give standing to a party in a personal injury claim. That is because on the other hand a manufacturer has a responsibility to produce a safe product for their consumers. When they fail to do so and their product leads to injury that could give consumers standing in product liability claims. The FDA does attempt to force disclosure of known side effects however further effects could arise after the medications release.
A medication injury claim requires a very detailed investigation by an expert who can link symptoms a claimant incurs with the direct usage of that drug in question. Attorneys for the large drug companies are very good at decoupling these symptoms with their clients medication making it imperative that a proper examination is conducted.
