Ortho Evra Contraceptive Patch is Dangerous to Use

ADVERTISEMENTS

The Ortho Evra contraceptive patch has been used by many young women who unfortunately have developed clot related injuries. Some users have had strokes, heart attacks, pulmonary embolisms or deep vein thrombosis as a result of using this product. This past week, the Food and Drug Administration announced a significant update to the manufacturer?s warning on the contraceptive patch. The label now warns users of the patch that they are at a significantly higher risk of developing clot related injuries than other women who use traditional birth control pills. This label change came as a result of a study conducted on behalf of Johnson & Johnson.

Users of this product who have been injured by it should consult with counsel concerning their rights. Litigation has spawned over the country concerning unsuspecting users who have developed clot related injuries. Given the new warnings, which were based on studies documenting these injuries, those who have experienced problems while using this patch should consult with counsel immediately about their legal rights and remedies.
