Earlier this week a new lawsuit was filed in Illinois State Court against Bayer and related entities alleging that Yaz caused a pulmonary embolism. This is the latest in a flurry of lawsuits that have been filed against the makers and distributors of Yaz, Yasmin and Ocella for serious side effects including blood clots, pulmonary embolism, stroke, deep vein thrombosis, gallbladder removal and other organ failures.
Other lawsuits have been filed in Pennsylvania and California state courts. In addition to the state court lawsuits, a number of lawsuits have been filed in federal courts around the country. As we mentioned earlier in this blog, plaintiffs have petitioned the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation to have the Yaz, Yasmin and Ocella federal lawsuits consolidated in a Multidistrict litigation (MDL). A hearing on that motion is set for September 24, 2009.
The Allen Law Firm will be filing suit on behalf of its Yaz, Yasmin and Ocella clients. If you or a loved one has been injured from taking one of these birth control pills, contact one of our attorneys for a free consultation.
