WASHINGTON — The maker of a permanent contraceptive implant subject to thousands of injury reports from women and repeated safety restrictions by regulators said Friday that it will stop selling the device in the U.S.

Bayer said the safety of its Essure implant has not changed, but it will stop selling the device at the end of the year due to weak sales. Last year, Bayer stopped selling the device in Europe.

The Food and Drug Administration has placed multiple restrictions on the device following patient reports of pain, bleeding, allergic reactions and cases where the implant punctured the uterus or shifted out of place.

In May, the FDA said doctors must show women a checklist of the device’s risks before implanting it.

More than 16,000 U.S. women are suing Bayer over Essure.

It seems that every time they introduce one of those contraceptive devices, a few years later you start seeing the commercials about collecting damages caused by said devices.

Bill Gates has recently come up with a device with hormones and micro-chips in it intended to temporarily sterilize women in the third world.

We are entering a birth dearth with more old people than babies.

You would think that brainiacs like Gates would want MORE consumers not less.

"What did you do to the least of these?"

"I tried to get rid of all of them."
