The widower of a New Jersey woman who died suddenly while using the NuvaRing contraceptive is suing its maker, claiming the device caused a deadly blood clot.

Robert Bozicev of Toms River states in a lawsuit that Nuvaring, which his wife had been using for six months, contributed to her death. The lawsuit claims Jackie Kelly Bozicev, 32, a mother of two, collapsed in the bathroom at her home, had trouble breathing and suffered a seizure on Dec. 7, 2007.

Her heart stopped in the ambulance en route to the hospital and despite doctors giving her clot-busting medicine, repeatedly shocking her heart and performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation for an hour, they could not revive her, Robert Bozicev said Thursday.

An autopsy showed a blood clot developed in a pelvic vein and lodged in her lungs, causing a severe blockage.
 
Recent news has not been good for Organon USA, the manufacturer and distributor of the NuvaRing birth control product. Although the product had been approved for use by the FDA several years ago, recent events have shown that the NuvaRing could cause serious side effects. This proposition is bolstered by the fact that 37 lawsuits have been filed against Organon USA around the country, and some of the injuries that were alleged to have been caused by NuvaRing have been devastating and life-threatening in nature.
