As defective drug lawsuits against the popular birth control medications Yaz and Yasmin continue to increase rapidly, many women in the state of Colorado have begun to seek legal recourse for injuries suffered as a result of taking these dangerous contraceptives. Many women both in Colorado and across the country have experienced serious blood clots including pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis as a result of taking Yaz and Yasmin.
The Food and Drug Administration has recently ordered Bayer, the pharmaceutical manufacturer that produces Yas and Yasmin, to update their warning labels and correct inaccuracies in their commercials for the drugs so that they adequately warn consumers of the health risks associated with these contraceptives.
As of late 2009, the FDA had received more than 1,700 reports of women who have developed blood clots, pulmonary embolisms, and deep vein thrombosis from taking Yaz and Yasmin. However, Bayer continues to insist that the drugs are safe, and they plan to aggressively defend these defective drug lawsuits in court.
Michael Burg, one of three lead attorneys nationwide in class action defective drug lawsuits against Bayer, was interviewed by Channel 7 in Denver regarding the Yaz/Yasmin litigation. “This product is one of Bayer’s largest profit centers and they are going to fight to the very end. I have done this long enough to know when a company is going to protect its product regardless of what kind of damage it is doing to the public,” said Mr. Burg.
Currently, more than 1,500 women nationwide have filed defective drug claims against Bayer for injuries suffered from taking Yaz and Yasmin. If you have developed a serious health condition from taking Yaz or Yasmin, it is important to seek representation with an experienced defective drug attorney at once to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.
