(EMAILWIRE.COM, September 30, 2008 ) Orlando, FL - The attorneys of Morgan & Morgan (forthepeople.com) are investigating injuries caused by NuvaRing, a hormonal contraceptive manufactured by Organon. It has been reported that women have suffered blood clots, strokes and other cardiac side effects as a result of NuvaRing use. Our NuvaRing injury lawsuit lawyers are committed to holding Organon accountable for the injuries caused by this dangerous contraceptive device.
NuvaRing is a once-a-month contraceptive that consists of a small plastic ring that is inserted into the vagina and remains there for a three week period. NuvaRing works by releasing hormones that prevent pregnancy. Research suggests the type of hormone released by NuvaRing (desogestral) is especially dangerous to the women who use it. In fact, the consumer advocacy group Public Citizen asked the FDA to ban oral contraceptives that contain forms of desogestral because this dangerous hormone has been implicated in a higher risk of strokes, blood clots and other cardiovascular problems. All hormonal contraceptives carry some risk of cardiac side effects, but since being approved by the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) in 2001, NuvaRing users have reported more such side effects than are usually seen with other hormonal forms of birth control. These NuvaRing side effects include blood clots, strokes, heart attacks, pulmonary embolism and death
The lawyers at Morgan & Morgan believe that Organon's failure to warn women that NuvaRing exposes them to a higher risk of cardiac side effects than oral contraceptives is unforgivable and Organon should be held accountable.
