Yaz and Yasmin, oral contraceptives manufactured by Bayer Healthcare Pharmaceuticals, are the subject of multiple lawsuits that allege these two oral contraceptives are responsible for life-threatening side effects. Defective drugs cause serious injury and death every year in this country.

Allegations have arisen that Bayer Healthcare Pharmaceuticals failed to warn women that they could face an increased risk of serious side effects from taking Yaz and Yasmin that may include heart attack, stroke, cardiac arrhythmia, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, gallbladder disease and sudden death. The health and lives of women across this country have been put at risk because of this failure.

If you or someone you know has taken Yaz or Yasmin and have suffered from blood clots, pulmonary embolisms, hypertension, seizures or kidney problems, the first thing you should do after seeking medical advice is to seek the counsel of an experienced defective drug attorney like those at The Cochran Firm to investigate if there is a connection between your medical problems and these two oral contraceptives. It is important to act immediately as there are legal time limits involved in filing a claim for damages against a drug company.
