Mass tort status is being considered in the lawsuits that have been filed against the makers of the birth control pills Yaz, Yasmin and Ocella. This is largely due to the increasing number of suits being filed across the country where victims claim stroke and other serious health problems caused by taking Yasmin or Ocella. Yaz side effects range from ischemic stroke or heart attack, to pulmonary embolism and other blood clot related injuries.
It all began when women in their 20s and 30s were suddenly falling victim to ischemic stroke and blood clots after being put on Ocella. Young, healthy individuals who were on this brand of contraception for as little as a few months were exhibiting symptoms of major side effects and serious health risks. Cardiovascular injury, organ failure, and blood clots are just some of the serious Yaz side effects allegedly experienced by patients put on this oral contraceptive pill.
Women taking Yasmin, Yaz or Ocella to avoid becoming pregnant or to treat PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder) or severe acne have reportedly endured serious injury to their health and wellness. Although not all pharmaceuticals are one-hundred percent safe, the main topic surrounding Yaz seems to be that the original commercials downplayed the health risks and side effects. This attracted users to the product that may not have taken it otherwise had they been properly informed about the risks posed by Ocella, Yasmin and Yaz.
