yaz_lawsuit_bayer_multidistrict_litigation_yaz_settlements_yaz_yasmin_lawsuit_settlementsHundreds of women in Australia are considering filing a class action lawsuit targeted at Bayer, the pharmaceutical company behind the contraceptive pills Yaz and Yasmin. The latest reports estimate that the class action lawsuit could involve 600 women.

As cited in the article from Australia’s 7 News, the British Medical Journal published studies, including one from 2011, whose data demonstrated a three fold increased risk of blood clots in women using Yaz, Yasmin, and Ocella, the generic equivalent of Yaz, in comparison to those women using other kinds of contraceptive drugs.

Many of the women who are considering filing a Yaz lawsuit against Bayer have experienced serious side effects, some of which became so serious, hospitalization was necessary. One such victim, an Australian woman interviewed for the 7 News article, experienced a stroke that she believes is the result of having used Yaz.

The woman is considering legal action for the purposes of discontinuing the manufacture of drugs like Yaz, Yasmin, and Ocella. An additional motivating factor is to prevent other women from experiencing a Yaz related stroke.
