New Yaz/Yasmin Blood Clot Lawsuit Alleges Woman Suffered Pulmonary Embolism

By Kimberly Mirando

Yaz Yasmin blood clotsA Massachusetts woman recently filed a federal lawsuit against Bayer, the maker of Yaz birth control, alleging she suffered blood clots leading to pulmonary embolism from taking Yaz. Her case joins thousands of other Yaz blood clot lawsuits filed by women across the country.
 
Plaintiff Janel Mahon alleges in the Yaz blood clot lawsuit that she began using Yaz in November 2006 and subsequently developed blood clots from the drug leading to a pulmonary embolism in December 2009. Her Yaz lawsuit was eligible to join the Yasmin/Yaz Multidistrict Litigation (MDL 2100) currently pending in the U.S. District Court for Southern Illinois, entitled Yasmin and Yaz (Drospirenone) Marketing, Sales Practices and Products Liability Litigation.
 
The Yasmin/Yaz lawsuit MDL allows thousands of Yasmin and Yaz users to file lawsuits under the jurisdiction of one judge, retain their own attorney, and receive an individual award if the case is won or settled. If an MDL settlement is reached, the award they would receive is typically much larger than any individual award expected in a Yasmin/Yaz class action lawsuit. The Yasmin/Yaz lawsuit MDL is similar to a Yasmin/Yaz class action lawsuit but different in that one key aspect.
For example, in a Yaz class action lawsuit, hundreds of thousands of Yaz users are joined together. Once, or if, a Yaz class action settlement is reached, the Yaz blood clot class members would typically share the award and the award may be in the range of thousands of dollars per claimant, rather than tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of dollars in some cases for individual Yaz blood clot lawsuits. On the other hand, if the Yasmin/Yaz lawsuit MDL settles, everyone who joined the MDL would receive any financial award individually, unlike in a class action lawsuit. The Yasmin/Yaz lawsuit MDL lawyers will determine exactly what each Plaintiff will receive depending on the injury suffered. This may mean that those who file Yasmin/Yaz wrongful death lawsuits due to heart attack or stroke will receive more than those who successfully removed blood clots from their system. The Yasmin/Yaz law firms litigating the MDL will determine this as the case progresses.
 
Thousands of women have filed lawsuits against the makers of Yaz and Yasmin, alleging they suffered serious side effects such as stroke, pulmonary embolism, blood clots, heart attack, gallbladder disease and deep vein thrombosis (DVT) from taking the oral contraceptives. Women who have suffered Yaz/Yasmin side effects are suing the drug manufacturers alleging they should have been warned of the severe and deadly side effects of these birth control drugs. If you are experiencing these Yasmin/Yaz side effects you should see a doctor immediately. If you are experiencing these, or experienced these symptoms in the past, you should also speak with a Yasmin/Yaz blood clot specialist to see if you are a good fit to file a Yasmin/Yaz class action lawsuit or an individual Yasmin/Yaz lawsuit. Bayer has already settled $142 million worth of lawsuits alleging that Yasmin and Yaz birth control pills caused blood clots in women.
