Startling New Warning About Depo-Provera
Did you know that a birth control shot millions of women have trusted for years could be linked to brain tumors?
I’m Attorney Tracy Paulsen with Rightful Legal. I’m a personal injury and mass torts lawyer, and I wanted to give you a critical update involving the Depo-Provera lawsuit that every woman should know—especially here in Massachusetts.
Lawsuits Against Pfizer Explained
Right now, lawsuits from across the country have been consolidated into a federal multidistrict litigation, or MDL for short, against Pfizer—the company that makes Depo-Provera. These cases involve women who have developed serious brain tumors, known as meningiomas, after years of receiving the injection.
One Massachusetts Woman’s Tragic Story
One of the newest plaintiffs is a woman from Massachusetts who, like so many others, followed her doctor’s guidance and took the Depo-Provera shot regularly—and ended up with a devastating diagnosis.
2024 Study: 3x Tumor Risk After 3 Years of Use
A 2024 study published in the British Medical Journal found that women who use Depo-Provera continuously for three years or more are over three times more likely to develop these tumors. That is not a small risk, and for many women, the consequences have been life-changing.
Pfizer’s Legal Defense and FDA Loophole
Pfizer is now trying to argue that FDA approval protects them from being held accountable, using a legal tactic called “preemption.” But let me be clear—FDA approval is not a shield from liability, especially when lives have been upended.
The court has already denied one motion to dismiss, and now with preemption arguments due by September 2025, the case is gaining momentum.
What to Do If You or a Loved One Is Affected
If you or someone you love received Depo-Provera shots and later developed a brain tumor, you may be eligible to join this litigation. I help women across Massachusetts and the country fight back against corporate negligence and demand justice from these manufacturers.
This isn’t just about a lawsuit. It’s about protecting your health, your future, and your voice.
