Thousands of women are experiencing adverse reactions due to defective IUDs that are falling apart upon removal and while the FDA alerted manufacturers about the dangers of these devices, companies have been keeping it quiet. The media has been keeping it quiet when it comes to informing patients about the risks. Attorney Stephen Luongo joins me now to talk about it. You know, frankly, Steve, I got to tell you for ABC to cover this story, to have corporate media ever cover a story where they got advertisers out there is really unusual, but ABC is the only place we really found this story.
Absolutely. And what we're talking about is Paragard, is a IUD, IUD, the only hormone free one out there on the market, there's five of them total. But they, they bill themselves and advertise themselves as the safe hormone free alternative. What we're finding is that the women that have these devices, once they try to get them removed, it's breaking apart, the arms are falling apart. They're being embedded in their uterus and their cervix and then requiring follow-up surgery to remove that and obviously causing tremendous pain and trauma.
Well, yeah, aside from the pain, I mean, the pain is obvious. If you have something embedded that they can't get out, if it's migrating. Is there an issue of migration here where pieces or maybe migrating through the body? We've seen that with other IUDs.
We have. We've seen that in the lawsuits with Mirena where migration was a major issue and the, the prevalent issue in that case. Here for us, we do see some migration, the bigger issues that we are seeing with the perforation of the organs, bodily organs there, the uterus sometimes resulting in a hysterectomy and ultimately resulting in infertility, which is the exact opposite.
So, the doctor goes in. I got to remove the IUD and the reports that are coming out, what are there 3000 or 3000 plus reports.
Correct.
Where the thing has shattered, it's broken off. The doctor goes in, let's remove it. And one of the arms, one of the arms on the IUD breaks off and is embedded in the tissue. And they can't, you know, it's, it's major surgery to try to go in there and get it out, right?
Absolutely. And, and that's, that's the harm that has not been advertised to these women. They took the product, they thought they were being safe. They thought they were protecting themselves. This harm has not been advertised to them. They have not been warmed, warned correctly for it, with dating back as you said, with the FDA telling the company at Teva pharmaceuticals, a parent company that, hey, your advertisements are not sufficient. These women are going out there not knowing the dangers and it is being embedded. It is causing damages.
Okay. So here's what the FDA could do if the FDA were actually functional, they're totally dysfunctional. The FDA is a joke. They allowed this to go on for a very long time. They finally said, you need to give a real warning, a black box warning that somebody can see, and the doctor knows about it. The patient knows about it, that if you put this in your body, it could shatter, break off and it can cause real systemic damage to you going forward. That's a black box warning. So what they've tried to do is put it in small print. Doctor still is unaware of what the problems are. They don't know about the 3000 plus problems. And, and the real issue comes down to the FDA could recall this immediately and say, until you get it right, we're going to recall this product.
Absolutely. And the product, as you said, is still on the market as is in its normal form without these proper warnings.
