Yasmin Birth Control and the Law
Mass tort status is being considered in the lawsuits that have been filed against the makers of the oral contraceptives Yasmin or Yaz and its generic form Ocella. This is largely because of the increasing number of cases being filed across the country where victims claim stroke and other serious health problems caused by taking Yaz or Ocella. Yaz side effects range from ischemic stroke or heart attack, to pulmonary embolism and other blood clot related injuries.
There are already numerous lawsuits filed in various counties across the U.S. against the contraceptive manufacturer. This number is expected to reach 1,000. Typically, those effected by Yaz, Yasmin, and Ocella can submit a case evaluation at TheLegalAdvocate.com to have a lawyer review their information in order to be provided with answers and eventually legal representation.
Adult Females taking Yasmin, Yaz or Ocella to avoid becoming pregnant or to treat PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder) or severe acne have reportedly withstood extreme injury to their health and wellbeing. Although most pharmaceuticals present some form of side effects, the main event surrounding Yaz seems to be that the original commercials downplayed the health risks and side effects. This attracted users to the product that may not have taken it otherwise had they been properly informed about the risks posed by Ocella, Yasmin and Yaz.
