The contraceptive Depo-Provera is at the center of a legal dispute as the first lawsuit has been filed in relation to claims that the medication caused a brain tumor. Attorney Ellen Relkin initiated legal proceedings after a French study earlier this year indicated that Depo-Provera users had a 550% increased risk of developing brain tumors. This case could potentially lead to a wave of litigation, with predictions that thousands more lawsuits might follow. For more on the background of the case and the study’s findings, visit FeedBlitz.
