FAQ: Is There a Depo Provera Class Action Lawsuit?

A Canadian class action lawsuit against Pfizer focusing on bone density loss concluded in 2021 with a $2.17 million settlement.

The current U.S. Depo-Provera MDL differs by exclusively addressing meningioma claims in women who used the injectable contraceptive for periods exceeding one year.

Legal experts anticipate that as the litigation unfolds and further medical research is conducted, the scope of qualifying injuries could broaden.

Canadian claimants received compensation based on documented bone density loss severity, with those showing steeper decreases and longer usage periods awarded higher amounts.

If you or someone you love has been diagnosed with meningioma (brain tumors) after using Depo-Provera, you may qualify to seek compensation.

The Depo-Provera mass litigation has seen major developments in early 2025, with the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPML) establishing an MDL in the Northern District of Florida in February 2025. Judge M. Casey Rodgers is overseeing the consolidated cases.

The litigation primarily focuses on allegations that Pfizer and other manufacturers failed to warn patients about the risk of developing meningioma brain tumors after prolonged use of the birth control injection.

MDL Formation and Consolidation

The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPML) officially consolidated the Depo-Provera lawsuits into an MDL on February 7, 2025, following a hearing that took place on January 30, 2025, in Miami, Florida.

The MDL was created to efficiently manage the growing number of lawsuits alleging that Depo-Provera and its generic counterparts caused users to develop brain tumors, particularly meningiomas.

Cases that share common questions of fact with the existing MDL litigation are transferred to the Northern District of Florida for coordinated pretrial proceedings.

When a new Depo-Provera lawsuit is filed in federal court anywhere in the country, it can be tagged for transfer to the MDL.

The JPML reviews these cases and transfers them to Judge Rodgers’ court if they involve similar allegations.

Existing cases in various federal courts across the country are also transferred through this process.

Legal experts anticipate that thousands more cases will be transferred to the MDL in the coming months.

Women diagnosed with meningiomas after using Depo-Provera injectable birth control may qualify to join the emerging litigation against Pfizer.

Medical research has established connections between prolonged Depo-Provera (medroxyprogesterone acetate) use and an increased risk of developing these brain tumors.

A study published in The British Medical Journal found that women who used Depo-Provera had 5.6 times greater risk of developing meningiomas compared to the general population.

Who Can Participate in Depo-Provera Lawsuits?

You may qualify to file a Depo-Provera lawsuit if doctors diagnosed you with an intracranial meningioma brain tumor after receiving at least two Depo-Provera injections since 1992.

Your case should demonstrate you took the medication as prescribed and that your tumor developed as a direct result of your Depo-Provera use.

Each state has different filing deadlines known as statutes of limitations, making prompt legal consultation vital for preserving your right to seek compensation.

Depo-Provera Birth Control Shots: Documenting Medical Evidence

Medical documentation forms the foundation of your Depo-Provera case, requiring pharmacy records, doctor’s notes, or insurance claims proving you received multiple injections.

An attorney can provide you with assistance gathering documentation regarding diagnostic imaging (MRI, CT scans), treatment records of surgical removal, radiation therapy, or other medical interventions.

Symptoms that prompted your diagnosis—such as headaches, vision changes, or seizures—should be documented to establish the timeline connecting your Depo-Provera use to your subsequent health issues.
