Allen Law Firm to Represent Women Injured by Yaz/Yasmin

The defective drug lawyers at the Allen Law Firm are are evaluating claims on behalf of individuals throughout the United States who were prescribed Yaz or Yasmin and suffered serious side effects including blood clots, strokes, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism or death.

The manufacturers of Yaz and Yasmin have put profits over safety in marketing these birth control pills. The advertising campaigns for Yaz/Yasmin in the last three years have consistently minimized the serious risks of these oral contraceptives while exaggerating the benefits. The direct-to-consumer advertising has even raised red flags with the FDA prompting Bayer to be required to run new ads clarifying the serious health risks of Yaz and Yasmin. Sadly, the corrections are too late for many women who have already suffered heart attacks, strokes, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, or even death.

If you or a loved one has suffered serious injury or death after using Yaz or Yasmin, contact the lawyers at the Allen Law Firm now for a free consultation.
