It’s been 2½ years since Erika Langhart died suddenly at the age of 24 from two heart attacks. Her parents, former Durangoans and Red Snapper owners Rick and Karen Langhart, have since made it a mission to inform women about the risks of third-generation hormonal contraceptives – Nuvaring in particular – which they believe caused their daughter’s death.
“They talked to us, a classmate of Erika’s, (elite Army athlete) Megan Henry, who almost died because of Nuvaring,” Karen Langhart said, “and several other parents we have met who unfortunately share the commonality of having lost a daughter and who refused to settle.”
Multiple stories have run in The Durango Herald. Vanity Fair magazine ran a long article in January, and now CNN is picking up the story. Starting today, the news network will run a three-part series on “Anderson Cooper 360°” in a story reported by Randi Kaye.
