Noemí was Cristina and Nieves’ lawyer in the Essure case. He was her legal representative against Bayer for a contraceptive method that left both of them without fallopian tubes and without a uterus. This is what they told in Salvados, after an allergy to nickel, which they were neither informed nor tested for, caused them to suffer great damage.
The lawyer acknowledges that there was an argument that seemed “ethically questionable” in Cristina’s judicial process: “They said why she wanted the uterus and tubes. Why pay if she no longer wanted to have children.”
“For a woman to be told that her sexuality is worthless because she didn’t want to have more children… I think it was a hard moment for her,” says Noemí.
The trial, he says, “went very well”: “The ruling clearly says that Essure is a defective product at an informative level due to those distributor brochures. They are considered insufficient, and show that they knew of its defects at the time of sale “.
