Yaz Lawsuit
When Yaz oral contraceptive first hit the shelves in the US in 2006 it became an instant success for women of all ages. Yaz birth control claimed to not only prevents pregnancy but also offered protection and maintenance against PMS, PMDD and acne. However, what Bayer Pharmaceuticals, the makers of Yaz oral contraceptive, failed to mention was that their popular product was also linked to an increased risk of several serious medical conditions including heart attack, stroke and pulmonary embolism. It wasn’t until 2009 that the FDA included a warning on the labels of Yaz to warn women of these serious side effects of Yaz.

Yaz Lawsuit Concerns
The biggest concern surrounding Yaz lawsuits is that the makers of Yaz birth control, Bayer Pharmaceuticals failed to mention these known side effects and complications during their manufacturing and marketing. It was not until 2009, three years after Yaz birth control hit the shelves in the United States, that the FDA issued a warning and told Bayer Pharmaceuticals to include this warning. What this means is that for three years unsuspecting women were putting their bodies at risk due to the misinformation and misguidance of Bayer Pharmaceuticals.
