Mass tort status is being considered in the lawsuits that have been filed against the makers of the birth control tablets Yaz, Yasmin and Ocella. This is largely because of the increasing number of lawsuits being filed across the country where victims claim stroke and other serious health problems caused by taking Yasmin or Ocella. Yaz side effects extend from ischemic stroke or heart attack, to pulmonary embolism and other blood clot related injuries.

There are already multiple lawsuits filed in various counties across the country against the pill maker. This number is expected to reach 1,000. Typically, those effected by Yaz, Yasmin, and Ocella can fill out the form at thelegaladvocate.com to have an attorney review their information in order to be provided with answers and eventually representation.

Any women that have been injured as a result of taking Yaz, Yasmin or Ocella may be eligible to an award. Many attorneys and legal aid agencies such as thelegaladvocate.com now provide assistance to anyone experiencing side effects and health issues as a direct result of using Yaz contraception. Now that more women across the U.S. are coming forward and filing lawsuits, the legal system is moving closer to furnishing justice for those who were misled by the birth control manufacturers and possibly their doctors.
