Thousands of Yaz Lawsuits Have Been Settled

As of August 11th, 2014, nearly 5,000 lawsuits involving the use of Yaz and Yasmin have yet to be settled. Bayer Pharmaceutical has doled out more than $1.8 billion in settlements with more suits to come.  The basis of these suits stem from the plaintiff assertions of improper notification of side effects, which include deep vein thrombosis, blood clots, heart attack, and stroke.

A recent study by the FDA has confirmed that Yaz, Yasmin, and all other variants increase the risk of incurring blood clots more so than other birth control pills and has ordered Bayer and other drug makers to disclose this information on the labeling.

These suits are sure to continue against Bayer as more are filed each day. If you or a loved one has used Yaz or Yasmin and experienced any of these side effects, please consult a medical health professional. Additionally, if you believe that it is a result of using Yaz or Yasmin products please contact the birth control attorneys of The Roberts Law Firm today for a consultation at (636) 530-9199.
