Pfizer sued in US over contraceptive that women say caused brain tumours

The drugmaker Pfizer faces a US lawsuit brought on behalf of women who developed brain tumours, which they say are linked to their use of the company's contraceptive injection Depo-Provera.

A court hearing will take place in Pensacola, Florida, on Monday.
