Birth control methods come in different levels of effectiveness and means of administering, yet nobody seems to consider their outcome. This should be the main criterion, especially when referring to the Paragard IUD (generically named Paragard T 380A), that can inflict damaging consequences. The product is a non-hormonal, copper-wrapped device, inserted into the uterus by a medical specialist, and removed after 10 years of use.
The public outcry over the dangers of Paragard IUD validates its deficiency and discloses major issues like breakage. Manufacturers have it registered as a pharmaceutical and not a medical device, as an attempt to elude responsibility. They further seem to neglect the importance of properly prescribing information, and fail to warn on the frequency of device breakage and intensity of adverse reactions.

Case evaluations are performed according to any of the following complications related to a Teva Paragard implant:
The foundation for filing a claim stands in proving that the device had a defective design or a manufacturing error and that the manufacturer was negligent and failed to properly warn about risks. Furthermore, there has to be irrefutable evidence that the patient has suffered an injury and the financial damages that it resulted in (medical bills, loss of wages and future earnings, pain, and suffering).
