400 Women Are Suing Pfizer Over Birth Control Shot That Allegedly Gave Them Brain Tumors
Briefly

Recent research has revealed a dangerous association between Pfizer's Depo-Provera birth control shot and a heightened risk of brain tumors, specifically meningioma. Approximately 400 women are filing a class action lawsuit against Pfizer, alleging that the company knew about these risks but failed to adequately inform users. A British Medical Journal study highlighted that progestin users face up to a 5.6 times greater likelihood of developing these tumors over time. Although warning labels were added in several countries, the lack of a similar warning in the U.S. is a point of contention in the lawsuit.
I thought it would be more reliable and convenient since I wouldn't have to take it daily. I had no idea it would lead to such serious health problems.
The lawsuit claims that Pfizer and other companies knew of the link between the shot and dangerous tumors but didn't properly warn users.
