Book Description

Publication Date: October 1997

Promoted as the 'Cadillac of contraception, ' the Dalkon Shield intrauterine device was used by four million women worldwide between 1970 and 1974. However, physicians and women were not warned of its dangers. Unshielded: The Human Cost of the Dalkon Shield provides a comprehensive overview of the manufacturing and marketing of the IUD, and its trail of destruction. It brings to life a story that has been obscured by legal and medical bureaucracy and presents an important lesson about the impact of misinformation on the public.
