Depo Provera, a popular contraceptive injection, has been widely used by women for decades. While it is effective in preventing pregnancy, the medication has also been linked to serious side effects, including bone density loss, mood disorders, and an increased risk of certain cancers.
Many women who have experienced these complications were not adequately warned about the risks. As a result, they are filing Depo Provera lawsuits against the drug's manufacturer.
If you or a loved one has suffered adverse effects after using Depo Provera, you may have a legal claim. A Depo Provera lawsuit can help you seek compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering while holding the manufacturer accountable for failing to provide sufficient warnings.

Updates in the Depo Provera Lawsuit
May 1, 2025 - The Depo-Provera MDL is Moving Quickly
The number of lawsuits against the makers of Depo-Provera continues to climb. In recent months, the multidistrict litigation (MDL) nearly doubled in size, jumping to 130 active cases. Many more women are expected to join in the coming weeks once the court finalizes a faster, easier filing process.
The lawsuits claim that drugmakers failed to properly warn about these risks, even though health officials in Europe, Canada, and South Africa have required warnings about the danger for years.
New Cases Filed Across the Country Last Month
In Tennessee, a woman developed not just one, but two brain tumors linked to years of Depo-Provera injections. In Kentucky, another woman had to undergo brain surgery after years of symptoms like headaches, numbness, and balance issues. A Florida woman also stepped forward after experiencing hearing loss and tinnitus, eventually learning she had a brain tumor tied to her past Depo-Provera use.
These women all share something in common: they trusted a product that didn’t fully warn them about the risks. If you or a loved one suffered similar injuries after Depo-Provera use, our team can help connect you with a qualified attorney in your area who knows how to handle these complex cases.
What's Happening With Generic Drug Companies?
Some of the legal focus is now turning to the companies that made generic versions of Depo-Provera. After reviewing sworn statements from Greenstone, Viatris, and Prasco, the court is moving toward dismissing Prasco. However, Greenstone and Viatris will stay in the litigation and will have to fully participate in discovery.
This is important because it ensures that those affected by generic versions of the drug are not left behind. We’re staying on top of these developments so that injured individuals get the strongest possible support, no matter which version of the drug they received.
This Judge Means Business
The judge overseeing this MDL isn’t giving defendants any breathing room when it comes to deadlines. After Greenstone and Viatris initially missed a key deadline, the judge ordered them to explain why and file immediately — a serious step that sends a clear message: stay compliant or face consequences.
This is a positive sign for plaintiffs. A firm and organized court often means the litigation moves faster and gives injured people a fairer chance to be heard.
Helping You Prove Your Depo-Provera Use
One of the challenges in these cases is proving that the plaintiff actually received Depo-Provera injections years — or even decades — ago. Thankfully, the court has put a system in place to make it easier.
Women bringing claims will fill out a Proof of Use and Injury Questionnaire and can request critical records from pharmacies, clinics, and insurers. If those providers don't cooperate, the court has made it easier to serve subpoenas to obtain the needed evidence.
If you're wondering whether you have a case, don’t wait. Our team can connect you with an experienced Depo-Provera lawyer near you who can evaluate your situation and help protect your rights.
April 1, 2025 - MDL Nearly Doubles in Size
The Depo Provera multidistrict litigation (MDL) has seen substantial growth, with 52 new cases added in March, bringing the total to 130 lawsuits. This surge in filings highlights the increasing awareness of potential claims against Pfizer.
To facilitate the growing number of plaintiffs, the court is finalizing a short-form complaint to streamline the filing process, making it more efficient for individuals seeking to join the litigation.
March 31, 2025 - Proof of Product Use Central to Litigation
Proving Depo Provera use is a crucial aspect of the lawsuits, and the court has implemented a formal process to simplify this requirement. Under the new order, plaintiffs are mandated to complete a "Plaintiff Proof of Use/Injury Questionnaire" within 120 days of filing.
This questionnaire must include documentation confirming product use from medical providers, pharmacies, or other third parties. The process allows for subpoenas to be issued if records are unavailable, ensuring that all plaintiffs can submit the necessary proof for their claims.
March 25, 2025 - MDL Progress Accelerates
Judge M. Casey Rodgers is overseeing the Depo Provera MDL with a clear focus on efficiency, establishing an aggressive schedule for discovery and preemption defenses.
Key deadlines include completing document production on preemption and general causation by May 11, 2025, and preemption discovery closing by late July 2025.
The expedited timeline sets a strong foundation for resolving preliminary defenses, increasing pressure on Pfizer and potentially speeding up the path toward meaningful settlements for plaintiffs.
March 24, 2025 - Plaintiffs' Leadership Team Announced
The team leading the Depo Provera lawsuits is officially set. At the top, there's one lead counsel overseeing everything, with two co-leads helping manage the workload. They're backed by a six-person Executive Committee that will help shape the big-picture strategy as the cases move forward. There's also a ten-member Steering Committee focused on keeping things organized and moving efficiently.
On top of that, smaller subcommittees are handling specific areas—like expert witnesses and legal filings. While the lead counsel has the final say, they're expected to work closely with the Executive Committee to keep decisions collaborative and well-rounded.
March 20, 2025 - Women Can Now File Depo Provera Lawsuits Directly in Florida Federal Court
There's good news for women affected by Depo Provera. Thanks to a new ruling from Judge M. Casey Rodgers, they can now file their lawsuits directly in Florida federal court—skipping the usual back-and-forth of starting in state court and waiting for the case to be transferred.
That change could save a lot of time and stress. It doesn't take away any legal rights, either—it just streamlines the process. This move is part of a bigger push to make things quicker and more accessible for women who are stepping forward to hold the manufacturer accountable.
March 19, 2025 - Depo Provera Cases Are Gaining Ground in State Courts Too
While the main MDL is moving ahead in federal court, don't overlook what's happening in state courts. We're seeing more Depo Provera lawsuits pop up in places like California, Pennsylvania, and Illinois. Judge Rodgers, who's overseeing the MDL, even brought in attorneys to help manage things at the state level—a sign that she expects even more cases to be filed outside the MDL.
So why go the state court route? For some plaintiffs, state courts can move faster or offer juries that are more favorable in drug-related cases. Recent wins in Philadelphia are a good example. Bottom line: there's more than one way to move forward, and plaintiffs now have multiple paths to pursue justice.
March 17, 2025 – MDL Leadership Set in Depo Provera Brain Tumor Lawsuits
Judge M. Casey Rodgers has appointed the plaintiff leadership team to head the very serious MDL over claims that Depo Provera can cause brain tumors in women who use the product, leading to all kinds of serious side effects related to the tumor, like seizures and vision loss.
Christopher Seeger will serve as lead counsel, with Bryan Aylstock and Ellen Relkin as co-leads. The litigation is still in its early phases. Right now, we finally have lead counsel, five pilot cases have been approved to help with discovery and trial readiness, and the case remains under a direct filing order.
So far, there are 78 lawsuits consolidated in the MDL, with more expected to join in the coming months as word spreads. This MDL is being heard in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Florida and presided over by Judge M. Casey Rodgers.
February 12, 2025 – Depo Provera MDL Unexpectedly Assigned to Florida Court
The U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation has consolidated over 70 lawsuits that allege Pfizer failed to warn Depo Provera consumers about the serious risk of a specific type of brain tumor linked to the injectable form of birth control.
Expectations were high that the cases would be consolidated in either New York, where MDLs are routinely handled and where Pfizer is headquartered, or California, where many of the cases were originally filed. However, the JPNL panel decided to assign the MDL to the federal court in the Northern District of Florida under Judge Rodgers.
Pfizer pushed for New York because it is known for more conservative verdicts. Meanwhile, most plaintiffs pushed for California because of its lenient juries and its proximity to so many key plaintiffs.
But in the end, Florida was chosen likely for two reasons: its neutrality and Judge Rodgers' track record of handling large MDLs effectively and efficiently. Most recently, Judge Rodgers handled the huge MDL involving 3M earplugs and the military, which resulted in a settlement of $6 billion.
February 06, 2025 – MDL is a Go, But the Court Battle Over Location Continues
While both sides agree that an MDL is the best way to handle the growing number of Depo Provera lawsuits, there's one big sticking point—where it should be centralized. Plaintiffs are pushing for California, while Pfizer is arguing for New York. Expect more legal wrangling over this before the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPML) makes its final decision.
Pfizer is also laying the groundwork for a federal preemption defense, basically arguing that because the FDA didn't approve its request to add a warning about meningiomas, it shouldn't be liable for failing to warn consumers. This is a classic Big Pharma move—blame the FDA instead of taking responsibility for failing to warn U.S. patients when it had already updated its labels in Europe and Canada.
Once the MDL is formed, it will tackle major issues like:
- The link between Depo Provera and meningioma brain tumors
- Whether Pfizer knowingly downplayed the risk for U.S. consumers
- If Pfizer hid critical safety data while doing business with Viatris
- Whether a lower-dose version (Depo-SubQ) could have reduced risk
This litigation is shaping up to be a battle, but the MDL is a step toward getting answers and accountability.
January 29, 2025 – JPML Hearing in Miami Tomorrow: Will the Depo Provera MDL Be Formed?
Tomorrow, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPML) meets in Miami to decide whether to consolidate Depo Provera lawsuits into a single federal case—aka MDL No. 314.
Everyone expects the panel to approve the MDL since both plaintiffs and Pfizer agree it's needed. But what's up in the air is where it will be based. Pfizer is lobbying for New York (where they're headquartered), while plaintiffs prefer California, where a big chunk of cases have already been filed.
Once this MDL is in place, things will start moving faster. The key issues will be:
- Does Depo Provera cause meningiomas? (Science says yes.)
- Did Pfizer cover it up? (The evidence is piling up.)
A decision on the MDL is expected soon after tomorrow's hearing. Stay tuned for updates.
January 01, 2025 – MDL Hearing Set for January 30th as More Women File Lawsuits
The JPML hearing on the Depo Provera MDL is officially scheduled for January 30, 2025, in Miami. The panel of seven federal judges will decide whether to consolidate cases into a single court, which would help streamline discovery, motion hearings, and pretrial litigation.
Meanwhile, more lawsuits are being filed by women across the U.S. who claim Depo Provera caused their meningioma brain tumors. If the MDL is approved, these cases will likely be folded in to speed up litigation.
We'll be watching closely and will update you on what happens after the hearing.
December 15, 2024 – How Would a Depo Provera MDL Work?
When a drug harms hundreds or thousands of people, an MDL (multidistrict litigation) is the best way to organize and handle the cases. Think of it like a mass lawsuit with separate individual claims. It allows for shared evidence and consistent rulings while keeping each plaintiff's case distinct.
If a Depo Provera MDL is created, here's how it will work:
- Pretrial discovery will be shared, meaning all cases get the same access to key documents, research, and expert testimony.
- All major legal questions (like causation and failure to warn) will be decided in one court, preventing inconsistent rulings.
- Each case remains separate for trial or settlement negotiations.
Unlike a class action, plaintiffs in an MDL keep their individual lawsuits intact. But an MDL speeds up the legal process, increases pressure on defendants, and often leads to better settlements for those injured.
December 02, 2024 – Pfizer Faces 22 Lawsuits, MDL Request Filed in California
Three new lawsuits against Pfizer have been filed in Nevada, Missouri, and California, bringing the total to 22 federal lawsuits. Many of these plaintiffs are dealing with inoperable brain tumors, meaning their only options are symptom management and long-term care.
At the end of November, attorneys for the plaintiffs filed a motion requesting the MDL be formed in Northern California. The logic?
- 18 of the 22 plaintiffs live in California.
- 6 of them are already in the Northern District.
If approved, the MDL would centralize pretrial proceedings in California, where the majority of these cases already exist. A decision is expected in early 2025.
November 14, 2024 – Three More Women File Depo Provera Lawsuits
The number of lawsuits against Pfizer is rising, and it's not hard to see why.
- A Fontana woman took Depo Provera for 19 years before developing a brain tumor that required surgery.
- A Crestline woman suffered severe neurological problems after nine years of injections.
- A Cypress woman took the drug for nearly a decade and developed multiple tumors, leading to life-changing complications.
These cases are just the beginning. The number of lawsuits is expected to skyrocket in 2025 as more women connect their brain tumors to long-term Depo Provera use.
October 20, 2024 – Pfizer Warned Europe, But Not the U.S.
Let's talk about Pfizer's double standard.
In Europe and the U.K., the Depo Provera label includes a warning about the risk of meningiomas. Here's what it says:
“Meningiomas have been reported following long-term use of progestogens, including Depo Provera. Treatment should be discontinued if a meningioma is diagnosed.”
Meanwhile, in the U.S., there's no such warning.
This means Pfizer was aware of the risk but chose not to warn American patients. Even worse, their European warning is weak at best—it only tells doctors to stop prescribing the drug if a patient already has a brain tumor, not that the drug could cause one.
With millions of Depo Provera prescriptions filled every year in the U.S., the number of women harmed could be much higher than expected. This is why lawsuits are piling up.
October 12, 2024 – Bellwether Trials Expected in 2025
The first bellwether trials in the Depo Provera litigation are expected to begin mid-2025. These test cases will set the stage for the rest of the lawsuits by showing how juries respond to the evidence.
- If juries find that Depo Provera causes brain tumors, Pfizer will likely face huge settlement pressure.
- If juries side with Pfizer, plaintiffs may have to fight longer to win compensation.
The stakes are high, and these early trials will play a big role in shaping how this litigation unfolds.
October 09, 2024 – Statute of Limitations Could Affect Some Claims
If you used Depo Provera and developed a brain tumor, time may be running out to file a lawsuit. The statute of limitations varies by state, meaning some women may have a limited window to take legal action.
However, the discovery rule could extend deadlines. This rule allows lawsuits to be filed after a plaintiff learns their condition may have been caused by the drug, rather than when symptoms first appeared.
If you think Depo Provera harmed you, act now. Once the statute of limitations expires, you lose your right to sue.
What is Depo Provera?
Depo Provera, or medroxyprogesterone acetate, is a contraceptive injection given every three months to prevent pregnancy. Suppressing ovulation, thickening cervical mucus, and thinning the uterine lining significantly reduces the chance of fertilization. Unfortunately, the use of Depo Provera has also been linked to severe side effects and long-term complications.
Although approved by the FDA, the drug's manufacturer, Pfizer, has faced mounting lawsuits alleging that they failed to adequately warn Depo Provera users of the significant health risks, including life-altering conditions such as meningioma brain tumors and decreased bone density.
What Depo Provera Side Effects Are Eligible for Compensation?
While all medications carry risks, the complications associated with Depo Provera usage are particularly serious. Below are some of the most common side effects that may make you eligible for compensation through legal action:
- Bone Density Loss: Prolonged use may significantly decrease bone mineral density, increasing the risk of fractures and osteoporosis.
- Cancer Risks: Studies suggest an increased risk of breast and cervical cancer, particularly in younger women receiving Depo Provera injections.
- Mood Disorders: Many users report experiencing severe depression, anxiety, and unpredictable mood swings.
- Weight Gain: Persistent, unintended weight gain often leads to additional physical and emotional challenges.
- Irregular Menstrual Cycles: Usage can result in spotting, prolonged bleeding, or even the absence of your period altogether.
- Fertility Delays: Recovery of fertility after discontinuing Depo Provera can take up to two years for some women, creating emotional and personal strain.
If you suffer from one or more of these side effects, a diagnosis from a medical professional is critical for assessing the severity of your condition and evaluating your eligibility for compensation in a Depo Provera lawsuit.
Medical documentation not only aids your recovery but also plays a key role in building a strong legal case.
Signs and Symptoms That Could Be Eligible for Compensation
If you're experiencing any of the following conditions after using or while still receiving Depo Provera injections, it's essential that you take action. Some potential signs include:
- Sudden fractures or a diagnosis of osteoporosis.
- Unexplained weight changes affecting daily function.
- Prolonged anxiety, depression, or emotional instability that impacts your quality of life.
- Abnormal menstrual irregularities beyond what is considered typical for contraceptives.
- Fertility struggles lasting much longer than anticipated after discontinuing the drug.
- Symptoms of breast or cervical cancer, such as unusual lumps, persistent pain, or abnormal discharge.
If you suspect these symptoms may connect to your use of Depo Provera, consulting a medical professional may safeguard your health and help clarify whether your condition may qualify for legal recourse.

Why Are Depo Provera Lawsuits Being Filed Against Pfizer?
The lawsuits against Pfizer for Depo Provera aim to address a troubling pattern of alleged negligence and consumer harm. Women across the country are stepping forward to claim that the pharmaceutical giant failed to uphold its duty to protect them from the serious risks associated with this widely prescribed birth control injection. Here's why these lawsuits are being filed:
- Failure to warn: Plaintiffs argue that Pfizer did not adequately inform either users or healthcare providers about the significant risks tied to Depo Provera usage, including meningioma brain tumors, bone density loss, and other life-altering complications. By withholding critical information, Pfizer left countless women unknowingly exposed to these serious dangers.
- Negligence: Allegations of negligence point to Pfizer's failure to conduct proper safety testing. Plaintiffs contend that warning signs were either ignored or minimized during the drug's development, meaning preventable harm was allowed to persist unchecked.
- Product liability: Under U.S. product liability laws, manufacturers are obligated to ensure their products are free from defects and marketed responsibly. Claims assert that Depo Provera was defectively designed and inadequately marketed, leading to an unacceptable level of risk for consumers.
- Breach of warranty: Pfizer is also accused of misleading consumers by promoting Depo Provera injections as safe and effective despite alleged knowledge of the drug's dangers. These misleading claims have left many women feeling betrayed by the product they trusted to safeguard their health.
These allegations present a sobering picture of Pfizer's actions, raising crucial questions about corporate accountability. What responsibility does a company owe to the individuals who rely on its products? And how can society ensure no one suffers in silence while pharmaceutical profits take priority over public safety?
Holding Pfizer Accountable
At the heart of these lawsuits is a commitment to justice—not just for individual women but for all who might face harm from negligently marketed drugs. By bringing these claims forward, plaintiffs are shedding light on systemic failures and sending a clear message that pharmaceutical companies cannot operate without transparent and ethical practices.
If you or someone you care about has suffered due to Depo Provera use, you don't have to face the consequences alone. Legal action is about more than seeking compensation; it's about demanding accountability from one of the largest corporations in the world. Take the next step toward justice by speaking with a Depo Provera lawsuit lawyer who can guide you through the complexities of your case.
What to Do If You've Been Harmed by Depo Provera
If you've suffered harm due to Depo Provera use, it's important to know that you don't have to face legal challenges alone. While an experienced attorney will handle the complexities of your case, there are proactive steps you can take today, in the coming weeks, and beyond to help preserve your rights and strengthen your claim:
- Seek additional medical care and documentation. Your health should always be the top priority. Schedule an appointment with your healthcare provider to assess your injuries and begin any necessary treatments. Be sure to request copies of medical records, as these will provide critical evidence for your potential case.
- Get help with organizing evidence. Many side effects of Depo Provera can make it impossible for injured parties to collect and gather essential evidence that can support their compensation claim. Reach out for support from an experienced Depo Provera lawsuit litigation attorney to ensure your case is built on a strong foundation.
- Keep a personal record. Write down your experiences, including how the side effects of Depo Provera have impacted your daily life. Emotional and physical challenges, like disruption to work or family life, are invaluable for expressing non-economic damages such as pain and suffering.
- Avoid delays. Seeking legal assistance as soon as possible is crucial to supporting a claim for maximum compensation. Every state enforces strict statutes of limitations, and missing the deadline could mean forfeiting your right to seek compensation. Start taking steps now to ensure no deadline is overlooked.
Taking these steps today can make a critical difference in safeguarding your rights and strengthening your claim. Don't wait to take control of your future; with the guidance of a skilled Depo Provera lawsuit attorney, you can ensure that no evidence is overlooked, no deadline is missed, and no opportunity for justice is lost.
What Compensation Can I Recover In A Depo Provera Settlement
If you've suffered injuries or health complications from Depo Provera, you may be able to recover compensation for economic and non-economic damages, including but not limited to:
- Medical expenses: Depo Provera health complications often require costly treatments, ranging from diagnostic tests and medications to rehabilitation and even surgeries. Compensation may cover immediate medical bills and anticipated lifetime care needs, ensuring you're not left to shoulder these burdens alone.
- Lost wages and diminished earning capacity. Absences from work due to hospitalization, recovery, or ongoing medical appointments can significantly affect your financial stability. Compensation can account for lost income and the long-term effects on your ability to work and earn in the future.
- Pain and suffering: Plaintiffs may be able to seek damages addressing mental anguish, emotional distress, and diminished quality of life.
- Wrongful death damages: Families who have lost loved ones to complications linked to Depo Provera may be able to pursue compensation for funeral costs, loss of companionship, and financial support. These damages aim to help surviving family members cope with the devastating impact of their loss.
Various elements can affect the settlement amount in a Depo Provera lawsuit, including the severity of injuries, the extent of financial losses, the number of plaintiffs involved, and the strength of the evidence supporting the claim.
While exact settlement amounts cannot be predicted, experienced legal professionals can help you take steps to build the strongest possible claim. They'll work to ensure that all avenues of compensation are thoroughly explored, leaving no detail overlooked. With their help, you can focus on healing while they advocate for a settlement that fully addresses your needs, including financial recovery and emotional closure.
How Can a Depo Provera Litigation Lawsuit Lawyer Help Me Recover Compensation?
Without proper legal representation, you may face challenges that could weaken your chance of recovering fair compensation. Here's a breakdown of the obstacles you may encounter and how a skilled Depo Provera lawsuit lawyer may be able to help.
Establishing Causation
Establishing that Depo Provera caused your injury isn't as simple as showing you used the allegedly dangerous pharmaceutical drug. Demonstrating a clear and direct connection between your condition and the medication often requires an attorney who can:
- Review medical evidence: Your lawyer can collaborate with medical experts to analyze your health records, highlight key findings, and build a case around the connection between your condition and Depo Provera.
- Consult Expert Witnesses: Testimony from healthcare professionals or scientists specializing in drug-related injuries can strengthen your claim.
- Access Relevant Research: Attorneys may rely on published studies, clinical trials, and FDA reports to validate the risks associated with Depo Provera use.
LitigationConnect mass tort litigation attorneys can help bridge the gap between medical evidence and legal strategy. They'll work to ensure your case satisfies the burden of proof in court or during negotiations.
Countering Corporate Defense Tactics
Pharmaceutical companies like Pfizer have substantial financial and legal resources to defend against lawsuits. Their arguments may seek to minimize or dismiss your claim entirely, especially when you don't have experienced legal representation who can help:
- Address label warnings: Lawyers can challenge Pfizer's defense by citing inadequate warning labels or inconsistencies in the drug's marketing materials.
- Demonstrate negligence: By gathering internal documents, deposition testimonies, and other evidence, attorneys can uncover instances where Pfizer may have failed to disclose known risks.
- Dispute alternate causes: Defense teams may argue that your injury resulted from unrelated health conditions. A skilled lawyer will build a case proving Depo Provera was a significant contributing factor.
By anticipating common corporate defense strategies, your lawyer can counter those arguments with credible evidence and strategic reasoning. Their advocacy ensures your case is built on a strong foundation that supports your claim for maximum compensation in a Depo shot lawsuit.
Navigating Time-Sensitive Legal Deadlines
Every state enforces a strict statute of limitations, which sets a deadline for filing a lawsuit after suffering harm. Missing this deadline can bar you from seeking compensation. With the help of a lawyer, you can better:
- Meet critical filing requirements: A lawyer will review the specifics of your case, including where the harm occurred, to determine the applicable filing deadline under state laws.
- Submit complete and correct paperwork: Attorneys ensure all required documents are completed and submitted accurately and on time.
- Account for filing exceptions: Certain exceptions, like delayed discovery of harm, may extend your filing deadline. Legal professionals can identify if such provisions apply to your case.
Experienced attorneys understand how critical timing is in dangerous drug lawsuits. They'll prioritize your case, ensuring no deadline is missed, and no opportunity for compensation is overlooked.
