I think there were a lot of infections and deaths or maybe just infections and lasting infertility with previous versions, but I think IUDs seem to be coming back in an improved form. On the previous version: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dalkon_Shield

The WELS apparently used to have a footnote but it went away.

FWIW, add the Presbyterians (PCUSA, at least) to those who simply use the lower case c. No footnotes.

My post was in reference to the allegation that the IUD works by "scraping," when it does not appear to at all.

As the Wikipedia article indicates, the Dalkon Shield was poorly designed and that was the cause of its malfunction, and not a flaw in how it actually worked.
