Birth Control Injection Lawsuit Update: May 2025
Thousands of women are stepping forward after using a long-acting injectable birth-control shot and later being diagnosed with meningiomas—a serious type of brain tumor. McGonigle Law is currently representing victims in the growing federal MDL (multidistrict litigation) consolidated in Florida under MDL-3140.
If you or someone you love received the injectable birth-control shot and later experienced neurological issues or a brain-tumor diagnosis, you should contact us right away.
What Is the Injectable Birth-Control Shot?
This shot, whose active ingredient is medroxyprogesterone acetate, was marketed as a convenient contraceptive that needed to be administered only every three months. Recent lawsuits and medical studies, however, have uncovered a disturbing link between long-term use of the injection and the development of brain tumors known as intracranial meningiomas.
Allegations Against Pfizer
Pfizer is accused of failing to adequately warn patients and doctors of the potential neurological risks associated with the shot. Plaintiffs claim that prolonged use significantly increases the risk of meningioma—a danger they were never told about until it was too late.
Common Symptoms and Side Effects Reported
Headaches
Vision problems
Memory loss
Dizziness or balance issues
Seizures
Brain-tumor diagnosis
Who May Qualify to Join This Lawsuit?
You may be eligible for compensation if you:
Received the injectable shot for two or more years;
Were diagnosed with a brain tumor or serious neurological symptoms;
Have medical records supporting your use and injuries; or
Lost a loved one due to complications linked to the shot.
As of May 2025, more than 100 cases have been filed and consolidated under MDL-3140. The litigation is expanding rapidly, with additional filings expected in the coming months. Strict court deadlines apply—acting now ensures your claim has the best chance of success.
