NuvaRing Lawsuits

NuvaRing was first introduced as an FDA-approved form of birth control in the United States in July 2002. It provided women with the ability to more easily satisfy their birth control needs because of the fact that it was vaginally inserted one time per month. This reduced the risks associated with the use of other forms of birth control such as forgetting to take daily oral contraception pills, not having a condom available when needed and more. The convenience associated with the NuvaRing resulted in many women making the decision to choose it over other forms of birth control available. However, as more women began to use it regularly, the health issues associated with its use became well known.
