About half of the lawsuits allege the drugs caused blood clots that can lead to heart attacks

According to a report from Bloomberg News, around 14,000 plaintiffs have filed 11,900 lawsuits over Yaz and Yasmin. About half of the lawsuits allege the drugs caused blood clots that can lead to heart attacks, strokes and even death. Bayer has not indicated a willingness to settle other claims, such as those alleging use of Yaz and Yasmin led to gallbladder disease.

Most of those lawsuits are pending in a multidistrict litigation under way in Illinois federal court alleging that Yaz and Yasmin caused serious side effect injuries, including blood clots. Late last year, the first trials in that litigation, which were scheduled to start in January, were postponed, and the cases were ordered to mediation at Bayer’s request.

Earlier this month, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) announced that the labels for Yaz, Yasmin and similar birth control pills would be updated to include additional information regarding blood clots, after its review of observational studies indicated that oral contraceptives made with drospirenone might pose a higher risk of blood clots compared to those made with other forms of progestin.

I have had such charming experiences when calling. Both Catherine Nunez and Jillian have been such great helps, they answer every question I may have and are always willing to help. This is my first time dealing with a law firm so was scared at first but they have both made this process so easy thus far. Great in every aspect. Also, the nurse consultant Joanne Stevens has been on top of my medical injuries & treatment making sure all that needs to get done is. They’ve all been making this process as smooth as they can for me.
