Yaz, Yasmin Lawsuit

 

Yaz, Yasmin Lawsuit Trial. The much anticipated first bellwether trial in the Yaz and Yasmin multidistrict litigation won’t be starting next week after all. The trial was postponed, and U.S. District Court Judge David Herndon has ordered both sides to meet with a mediator to discuss possible settlement of Yaz and Yasmin lawsuits.

George Washington law professor Stephen Saltzburg has been appointed special master in the litigation. In an order dated December 31, Judge Herndon directed attorneys for both plaintiffs and defendants to meet with Saltzburg “without delay” to negotiate in good faith. According to FiercePharma, Saltzburg previously handled mediation for more than 20,000 Seroquel product liability lawsuits.

dangerous blood clots and other serious side effects

More than 10,000 lawsuits are pending before Judge Herndon in the Yasmin and Yaz (Drospirenone) Marketing, Sales Practices and Products Liability Litigation (MDL No. 2100) in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Illinois. The lawsuits claim Yaz, Yasmin and similar drugs caused young women to suffer dangerous blood clots and other serious side effects.

Just last month, a panel of advisors for the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) recommended stronger label warnings for Yaz, Yasmin and similar oral contraceptives regarding their possible association with blood clots.  The outside advisors voted 21-5 that current label warnings for Yaz, Yasmin and other pills made with the progestin, drospirenone, are inadequate and need to include clearer information about data that have linked the pills to a higher risk of blood clot.

On the Christmas Eve of 2015 I had a car accident I felt lost and confused. I had no idea what I was going to do or how I was going to get my car fixed. My supervisor referred me Jorge Peniche who works for Parker Waichman. He came to meet me at my house the same day I spoke to him and helped me till the end of my case. I was very pleased with the lawyers and Jillian was very helpful in the process, her and Jorge were ready to answer any of my questions. Thank you Parker and Waichman!!
