You can file a lawsuit against the manufacturer of the Mirena IUD if the IUD caused you to suffer damages. In general, to be successful, you would have to prove that the IUD was defective in some way and/or that the manufacturer did not warn about know complications from using the IUD. Mirena IUD may be the subject of a nationwide class action. To date, the manufacturer indicates they intend to defend these cases.
