A Paragard update needs the original court record. The order here is from February 2025. It does not show the latest trial result or promise a payment.

What public case record is reviewed here?

The Georgia court lists the Paragard group of cases. Its page describes claims of harm from breakage at removal. Claims are not proven findings.

The court names Leigh Martin May as presiding judge. The summary concerns complications such as procedures to remove a piece, infertility and pain. It is a case overview, not a complete current docket or an assessment of your own records.

What changed in the February 2025 order?

The judge ruled on time defenses for named cases. Some claims were dismissed; other issues remained. The order did not impose one national filing date.

Document 868 was filed and signed on February 11, 2025. Its conclusion separates different groups and converts part of the motion for later review. Identify the actual case and claim in the order rather than applying its result to every reader.

What are the key dates in the reviewed record?

Document 868 was filed on February 11, 2025. It deals with time issues. It is not a 2026 trial result. Teva reported that the first federal test trial ended on February 3, 2026, with a verdict in its favor. As of October 6, 2026, ask a lawyer to check any later court orders for your case.

The federal court guide distinguishes motions, negotiated settlements and trial findings. None can be substituted for another. Ask for the case number, filed document and any later order before relying on a reported outcome or treating an old planned date as an event that occurred.

How complete is this dated court log?

The reviewed log is limited to a dated order and overview. It is not a complete current case history. No payment program is verified by those records.

A court’s allegation summary is not a settlement notice. A motion ruling also does not supply a personal payout or distribution date. Keep an actual offer separate from general online discussion and have your lawyer check its terms.

How many cases does this record establish?

No current case count is verified here. A named-case order is not a count of all cases. Ask for the dated original count behind a total.

The February 2025 order lists groups for a particular motion. Its tables should not be turned into a current national case total. A count also does not tell you whether your claim qualifies or what any person may receive.

What should I ask about my own case now?

Ask which court and claim the update concerns. Confirm whether an order applies to your case. Ask your lawyer to check current personal dates.

The February order names cases with different claim outcomes. A case not listed there needs its own review rather than an assumed result. Keep notices from your lawyer or the court together so the actual response date can be checked.

Which records belong with an update question?

Bring the case number and document being discussed. Add your placement and removal dates. Keep each attempted removal distinct.

The court’s form asks about device breakage, injury, providers and product identity separately. Those details can help a lawyer connect a procedural update to the correct matter. Do not replace a missing notice with a headline or infer a ruling from the date on this website.
