Howie, Sacks & Henry LLP (HSH) has
revised the eligibility criteria for participation in the Canadian
Essure litigation to include those women who had Essure
implanted before October, 2016,
and those who have undergone removal, or whose doctor has
recommended removal, even if removal has not occurred
yet.
Through listening to your stories, we understand that many women
require Essure removal, but are unable to find a doctor who knows
about Essure, has been trained to perform removal, and is willing
to perform the surgery. Moreover, through no fault of their own,
women are experiencing significant delays in referrals to OB-GYNs
as well as surgical wait lists of up to a year due to a systemic
shortage of resources within Provincial health care systems across
Canada.
