Reported Issues Upon Removal
The Paragard IUD removal procedure is nonsurgical and done by a healthcare provider in minutes during a routine office visit. During removal, the arms of the device are supposed to fold up, according to the removal instructions provided in the prescribing information.
According to claimants, the device broke or fractured inside them as it was removed, causing injury requiring surgery such as a hysterectomy.
The central claims of Paragard lawsuits include:
- The IUD has manufacturing and design defects
- Its labeling does not adequately warn about breakage risks

Injuries and complications due to Paragard IUD removal may vary from patient to patient, but they should all be taken seriously.

Awesome firm! Chris Connolly took time to listen and review our situation. He was very honest and upfront about the process and potential outcomes. My daughter’s case has some complexities and Chris explained every detail and possibility. Bottom line, he fought for us and won!!! I would rate them 10 stars if possible.

I had the chance to speak with Anna Hamrick and Katie Gates, and their professionalism truly stood out. From 2024 to 2026, everything was handled well, with a level of confidence, honesty, and calm presence. They took their time with me, explained everything clearly, and treated me with real care and respect. Their dedication and work ethic are admirable; I’m genuinely grateful for the way they guided me.

Needing an attorney was never something I wanted to need, but I did and thanks to Anna H. and Katie G. it was not so overwhelming. Having to deal with a legal issue and having a trusted attorney is key. I had no idea what to expect during the duration of the time I needed legal representation but Anna and Katie not only keep me well informed but also explained things to me in a way that made sense. If you happen to find yourself in need of legal representation I highly recommend them.
