Ortho Evra Lawsuits
Hundreds of women have filed Ortho Evra lawsuits alleging that they suffered serious injuries after using the birth control patch.
These women contend that Johnson & Johnson and Ortho-McNeil knew the danger of Ortho Evra side effects facing patients but failed to warn them of this risk.
Willing to settle
Lawyers for Johnson & Johnson say that they are willing to settle Ortho Evra lawsuits filed by women who have suffered deep vein thrombosis, heart attack, stroke or a pulmonary embolism after using the Ortho Evra patch.
Because these conditions are so rare among the young women who typically use the birth control patch, Ortho Evra lawyers say that it would be relatively easy to prove that they were caused by using the patch rather than the pill.
Ortho Evra lawsuits keep coming
However, women are filing Ortho Evra lawsuits faster than Johnson & Johnson can settle them. This trend may increase in the future as more women learn that injuries they have suffered may have been caused by Ortho Evra side effects. Although only a few hundred Ortho Evra lawsuits have been filed so far, experts estimate that the total number of cases may eventually reach into the thousands.
