It's not your fault that it doesn't work. But as an informed and rational consumer, you make the purchase and you use it being fully aware that it's not 100% effective (it's on the box!). Therefore, you should be fully prepared to assume the natural consequence of its failing; if not, then you just made an irresponsible decision. You can't spin it any other way. I'm saying nothing about whether or not they should or shouldn't do it; I'm just stating that their actions are still irresponsible, and that claiming ignorance doesn't take away any of their responsibility.
An analogy: Everyone knows texting while driving makes you more likely to get into an accident and hurt yourself or others. Yet tons of people still do it because they think it won't happen to them or are willing to defy the odds, but I bet you very few of them are actually prepared to assume the consequences of getting into an accident (to hurt and even kill themselves or others). Now is that not an irresponsible decision? Or can we say that they have no responsibility over the accident because how were they supposed to know that they were going to crash? (Just like how are people supposed to know that the birth control won't work that time?)
but I agree with what you say Nicole, I just can't at the ignorance 
...oh yeaaahhh! let's **** a bit... oh my! I got pregnant!!!! cool let's abort!
