Legal analysts project 16,000 to 18,000 lawsuits could eventually be filed by women diagnosed with meningiomas believed to be linked to Depo-Provera. And that figure may only scratch the surface. Many women may still be undiagnosed or unaware of the connection.

We’re seeing growing awareness in the medical and legal communities, along with a steady stream of inquiries from women who are just beginning to piece together years of unexplained symptoms. The scale of harm points to a significant public health concern—this is not a fringe issue.

Given the severity of the injuries and the breadth of exposure, this litigation is expected to expand rapidly in the months ahead.
