Depo-Provera Lawsuit 2025
If you or a loved one developed a brain tumor after Depo-Provera injections, you are not alone. Hundreds of women have already filed lawsuits against Pfizer, claiming the company failed to warn about the link between Depo-Provera and meningiomas, a serious type of brain tumor. These lawsuits are now part of a rapidly growing mass tort known as MDL 3140.
At SWMW Law, we are currently reviewing Depo-Provera lawsuit claims nationwide. Our attorneys offer free consultations and can help determine whether you qualify for compensation. There are no fees unless we win your case.
Why Are Women Filing Depo-Provera Brain Tumor Lawsuits?
A landmark 2024 BMJ study found that women who use Depo-Provera for 12 months or longer face a 5.6-fold increased risk of intracranial meningioma. Meningiomas are tumors that grow in the lining of the brain and can cause serious neurological problems. While many meningiomas are benign, they often require complex surgery, especially when located near the skull base.
Despite this scientific evidence, Pfizer has not updated Depo-Provera’s U.S. label to warn about meningioma risk. Other countries, including Canada, the United Kingdom, and the European Union, have added meningioma warnings to Depo-Provera packaging.
Key Findings from the 2024 BMJ Study:
5.6 times higher risk of brain tumors in long-term Depo-Provera users.
Tumors often located near the skull base, increasing surgical complexity
Risks increase after 12 months of continuous use
What Is MDL 3140? (Depo-Provera Multidistrict Litigation)
On February 7, 2025, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPML) consolidated federal Depo-Provera brain tumor cases into MDL 3140 in the Northern District of Florida. Judge M. Casey Rodgers is presiding over these cases.
Depo-Provera Lawsuit Timeline:
October 2024: First meningioma lawsuit filed in California
February 2025: MDL 3140 created by JPML
July 2025: Over 435 cases pending in MDL 3140
September 29, 2025: Preemption hearing scheduled
2026: Bellwether trials expected to begin
Although some people search for a Depo-Provera class action lawsuit, these claims are handled through multidistrict litigation. Each plaintiff files an individual lawsuit, but the cases are coordinated for efficiency.
from our clients
Because Your
Family Matters.
You may qualify for a Depo-Provera brain tumor lawsuit if:
- You received Depo-Provera injections for at least 12 months
- You were diagnosed with an intracranial meningioma (confirmed by MRI or pathology)
- You required surgery, radiation, or ongoing neurological care
Even if you stopped using Depo-Provera years ago, you may still have a case. Most states apply the discovery rule, which means the statute of limitations starts when you discover the connection between Depo-Provera and your tumor.
Common Symptoms Before Diagnosis:
- Persistent headaches or migraines
- Vision changes, including double vision
- Seizures or fainting spells
- Memory loss or cognitive problems
- Mood changes or confusion
