Legal Help for Women Harmed by Paragard IUD Breakage

Paragard is a copper IUD used for long-term birth control. While many women trusted Paragard as a safe, hormone-free contraceptive, lawsuits across the country allege a serious defect: the Paragard IUD may break or fracture during removal.



When Paragard breaks, pieces of the device can become lodged in the uterus, requiring additional medical procedures—or even surgery—to remove the fragments. DRS Law’s Nashville product liability attorneys are reviewing Paragard injury claims for women in Tennessee and beyond.

What Is the Paragard IUD Lawsuit About?

The Paragard lawsuit centers on allegations that:

  • The device has a design defect that makes it prone to breaking
  • The IUD’s arms may snap off during routine removal
  • The manufacturer failed to adequately warn patients and doctors of this risk

Many women only discovered the danger when their Paragard broke during removal and caused unexpected complications.

Common Injuries Reported in Paragard Copper IUD Lawsuits

When a Paragard IUD breaks, the consequences can be severe. Reported injuries include:

  • Painful removal complications
  • Uterine perforation or internal bleeding
  • Infection or inflammation
  • Scar tissue and reproductive damage
  • Infertility concerns
  • Emergency surgery to retrieve broken fragments
  • Procedures such as hysteroscopy or, in extreme cases, hysterectomy

These injuries can lead to significant medical costs, emotional distress, and long-term health impacts.

Is There a Paragard Recall?

At this time, there has not been a formal Paragard recall. However, the growing number of lawsuits alleges the device is defective and that women were not properly warned about the risk of breakage.


Litigation involving Paragard has expanded into national mass tort proceedings, including a federal MDL (multi-district litigation), showing the seriousness and scale of these claims.

Paragard MDL and Mass Tort Litigation

Many Paragard cases are being handled as part of coordinated national litigation. This process allows injured women to pursue compensation while sharing evidence about the device’s design and risks.



DRS Law can explain whether joining the Paragard MDL or filing an individual claim is the best path for your situation.

Who May Be Eligible to File a Paragard Lawsuit?

You may qualify for a Paragard injury lawsuit if:

  • You had a Paragard copper IUD implanted
  • The device broke or fractured during removal
  • You required additional medical procedures or surgery
  • You suffered complications such as pain, infection, or fertility harm

Even if your injury happened years ago, deadlines may apply—so it’s important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible.
