Essure (Birth Control) (US): Settlement Amounts
ArchivedReported amounts & case results
Bayer resolved U.S. Essure claims for ~$1.6 billion (per Bayer press release, Aug 2020). Claims were paid under the program; the device is no longer sold (per Bayer). No new intake.
Reported amounts are what sources say — not a promise. Individual results depend on injuries, jurisdiction, and the stage of the case. This is not legal advice.
What affects case value
- Injury severity — the single largest driver across mass torts.
- Jurisdiction — national/state/provincial law (e.g., discovery rules, statute of limitations) can change outcomes.
- Case stage — early filings and post-bellwether values differ.
- Documentation — medical records and the exposure timeline.
