According to newsinferno.com, 11,000 plaintiffs have filed suit against Bayer alleging that Yaz and Yasmin and similar birth control pills caused a number of serious side effects, including:

  • Blood clots
  • Deep Vein Thrombosis
  • Pulmonary Embolism
  • Strokes
  • Heart Attacks
  • Gallbladder Disease/Removal
  • Death

Previously, in February, Bayer had claimed to have only settled 170 of these cases. Bayer says they will consider settling more cases, but failed to say how many or for how much money they would be willing to settle for.
