The judge assigned to handle the Yaz Lawsuit, Multi District Litigation, often referred to as the Yaz Class Action Lawsuit, has granted more time to Bayer, the maker of Yaz and the plaintiff law firms representing over 11,000 claimants, to settle the case before a trail begins.
Although the United States Food and Drug Administration did not officially announce the problems associated with Yaz until 2011, numerous lawsuits had already been filed. The issue with Yaz that has led to the massive number of lawsuits being filed stems from one of the ingredients in Yaz, drospirenone. Drospiredone has been linked to an increased incident of blood clots occurring in women who take birth control pills containing this ingredient. The primary ingredients in Yaz are a generic form of estrogen that has been used in birth control pills for many years and the additional ingredient Drospiredone.
Given that there was no official recognition of the relationship between Yaz and blood clot related medical problems until 2011, the time limit to file Yaz Lawsuits has not expired. Women who took Yaz and suffered blood clot related problems such as strokes, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolisms.
