During the past year we have reported periodically on the NuvaRing drug injury lawsuits -- both the federal court NuvaRing MDL pending before Judge Rodney Sippel and the New Jersey state court consolidated NuvaRing litigation being handled by Judge Brian Martinotti -- as well as medical studies that link Merck's NuvaRing vaginal ring to an increased risk of blood clots that can cause deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and/or pulmonary embolism (PE), some of which resulted in the death of a woman or a girl.

We present this round-up of those Drug Injury Watch articles, now, in order to put in front of you the various reports of significant developments.
