What the litigation alleged

When a presumed-benign fibroid is actually a hidden sarcoma, morcellating it can scatter malignant tissue. The FDA warned against the practice in 2014 and the leading manufacturer withdrew its devices. Claims alleged women were never told the screening for hidden cancer was unreliable.

Injuries named in the litigation

  • Upstaged leiomyosarcoma after morcellation
  • Disseminated uterine cancer
  • Reduced survival from seeded tumors
