OGH: Ungewollte Schwangerschaft / Geburt trotz Spirale: Ersatz der daraus resultierenden Vermögensnachteile?

The article describes a case before the Supreme Court (OGH) in Austria, which deals with the question of whether an unintended pregnancy and birth, despite the use of a contraceptive coil, can lead to compensation for financial losses. The OGH suggests that national case law on "wrongful conception" is not applicable within the scope of the Product Liability Directive. The plaintiff accuses the manufacturer of the coil of producing faulty products and not adequately informing the public about the defect. The court dismissed the lawsuit as it could not establish any liability on the part of the manufacturer. [Extracted from the article]
