Update: May 2026 – Recognizing the Symptoms That Matter

Thousands of people go in for what they believe is a routine procedure — a standard look inside the body to check for issues. They go home and expect to feel better. But for hundreds of patients, something went terribly wrong in the days that followed.

---

Why Is This Happening?

Certain reusable medical tools used in these procedures have a hidden design problem. Deep inside the device, there are tiny grooves and channels that cannot be fully cleaned — no matter how carefully the hospital follows the rules. Dangerous bacteria can survive the cleaning process and be transferred to the next patient on the table.

In fact, independent studies have found that even with perfect cleaning protocols, roughly 1 in 25 of these devices may still carry harmful bacteria after disinfection.

What Should You Watch For?

If you had a scope procedure in the past few years, pay close attention if you experienced any of the following within 30 days:

• 🌡️ Sudden high fever (above 101°F) with no clear cause
• ❤️ Rapid heart rate or difficulty catching your breath
• 😵 Confusion, disorientation, or extreme fatigue
• 💊 Hospitalization requiring strong IV antibiotics
• 🦠 A diagnosis of a drug-resistant infection — sometimes called a "superbug"

These can be signs of a serious bloodstream infection (sepsis) — a life-threatening emergency that may be directly connected to the device used during your procedure.

---

Where Things Stand Today (May 2026)

• Over 250 patients have been formally identified with superbug infections tied to these devices
• Nearly 3,500 claims have been filed nationwide
• The FDA has issued its most serious class of recall on certain models and accessories
• Federal import alerts have been placed on several scope models due to ongoing safety violations

Federal Court Reaches Critical Threshold in Depo-Provera Meningioma Litigation

As of May 1, 2026, MDL 3140 — centralized in the Northern District of Florida under Judge M. Casey Rodgers — now encompasses 3,490 active cases representing 3,790 unique plaintiffs.

The Science Behind the Claims: Peer-reviewed research published in the BMJ found that women who used medroxyprogesterone acetate (Depo-Provera) for more than one year face a 5.5x–5.6x increased risk of developing intracranial meningiomas. These are slow-growing brain tumors that can cause severe neurological damage.

What Happens Next: Judge Rodgers has locked in June 24–26, 2026 as the dates for pivotal Daubert (causation) hearings. Expert witnesses on both sides will present scientific testimony that could shape the trajectory of all 3,490+ claims. This is the single most consequential legal event in this litigation to date.

Are you eligible? If you used the Depo shot for 1+ years and were later diagnosed with a meningioma or intracranial tumor, your claim may qualify for inclusion in the MDL.
