NuvaRing Lawsuit Settlements: A Separate Peace?
By John Curran
It’s bad to be a manufacturer of female contraceptives with extensive customer complaints like NuvaRing. Then one has Yaz blood clot risks that impact that entire family (Yasmin, Ocella and Beyaz) of drugs. The vaginal ring uses the same medication as the pills, so the only thing different is scope. And for now, settlements.
See, Bayer is paying out, on average, $212,000 for each of its oral contraceptive claims, and has put away hundreds of millions of dollars. Since NuvaRing blood clot side effects are basically the same, why wouldn’t Merck & Co. do the same thing? After all, there are fewer claims from NuvaRing side effects lawsuit lawyers, only several hundred.
One point against the effort is the relative health of the company. Merck is cutting costs even down to its corporate headquarters, which could make the firm somewhat hesitant to not fight back against women alleging NuvaRing blood clot side effects. And a similar settlement rate with NuvaRing side effects lawsuit lawyers would cost close to $1 billion, given the hundreds rather than thousands of lawsuits.
The bigger deal is that Merck & Co. could face much worse problems if it avoids this. NuvaRing deep vein thrombosis side effects may have been minimized, as numerous plaintiffs claim. What is a significant amount of money to those filing cases is “just” a few hundred thousand dollars to Merck if other products become successful. Doing otherwise opens the possibility to pay out more due to NuvaRing stroke side effects.
It works out well for both sides. NuvaRing blood clot lawsuit attorneys get the money to help improve their clients’ quality of life and pay for any costly treatments. And Merck gets to move on and hide from the harsh limelight. Outside of perhaps adding more side effect warnings to the boxes, it could be the best ending to what has affected so man different women.
