Liletta IUD Lawsuit
Liletta is a hormone-releasing intrauterine device (IUD) that is used to prevent pregnancy. It is a small, T-shaped device that is inserted into the uterus, where it releases the hormone levonorgestrel. Liletta is effective for up to three years.
In recent years, there have been a number of lawsuits filed against the manufacturer of Liletta, alleging that the IUD can cause serious side effects, including:
- Pelvic pain
- Uterine perforation
- Ectopic pregnancy
- Uncontrolled bleeding
- Infertility
The plaintiffs in these lawsuits allege that the manufacturer of Liletta failed to adequately warn doctors and patients about the risks of the IUD.
The lawsuits against the manufacturer of Liletta are ongoing. It is too early to say how they will ultimately be resolved. However, the lawsuits have raised important questions about the safety of Liletta and the role of pharmaceutical companies in warning doctors and patients about the risks of their products.

If you experience any of these side effects, it is important to see your doctor right away.
