| New Warning of Blood Clot Risk for YAZ and Yasmin |
| Posted By DeCarli Law |
 |
The Associated Press is reporting that Bayer HealthCare, "[i]n cooperation with the Food and Drug Administration," has added new warnings about the risk of blood clots that come with using YAZ and Yasmin oral contraceptives. At present, the exact wording of the new warnings has not been reported. In all likelihood, Bayer's warning change was made out of concern that the FDA would order a label change if Bayer did not do so on its own.
YAZ, Yasmin, and Ocella (the generic form of Yasmin) are birth control pills that contain a synthetic progestin called drospirenone, which some studies indicate has double the risk of blood clots compared to other birth control pills. Numerous women have suffered from YAZ, Yasmin and Ocella side effects, including pulmonary embolism (PE), deep vein thrombosis (DVT), strokes, and gallbladder disease.
The YAZ lawyers and YAZ attorneys at DeCarli Law are evaluating and investigating YAZ side effect lawsuits, Yasmin side effect lawsuits, and Ocella side effect lawsuits. Contact DeCarli Law for a free consultation if you or a loved one may have experienced a side effect of YAZ, Yasmin or a Ocella.

| Movement Toward Consolidation of New Jersey YAZ, Yasmin and Ocella Side Effect Lawsuits |
| Posted By DeCarli Law |

The New Jersey Law Journal has reported that New Jersey YAZ, Yasmin and Ocella lawsuits may be consolidated before a single judge. The New Jersey judiciary is considering a request from Judge Donald Volkert Jr. of Prossaic County, New Jersey, that YAZ, Yasmin and Ocella lawsuits be given mass tort status.
13 lawsuits for injuries from YAZ, Yasmin and Ocella birth control pills are pending in Prossaic County, and 26 lawsuits are pending in other New Jersey counties. Judge Volkert wrote the Acting Administrative Director of the Courts in New Jersey on October 22, 2009, requesting mass tort status. The Administrative Office of the Courts has since issued a notice that it will accept public comments on Judge Volkert’s proposal through the end of this year.
If mass tort status is granted, the cases will be consolidated in one of three New Jersey counties where mass torts are heard: Atlantic County, Bergen County, or Middlesex County. Selection of a specific county and judge can have a significant impact on claims made by women injured by YAZ, Yasmin or Ocella. Injured women may have other options, such as filing their claims in federal court, or in the courts of other states such as California.
YAZ, Yasmin and Ocella birth control pills can cause pulmonary embolism (PE), deep vein thrombosis (DVT), stroke, heart attacks, hyperkalemia, gallbladder disease, and even death. The risk of blood clots (thrombosis) is twice as great with YAZ/Yasmin/Ocella as it is with older birth control pills. Likewise, unlike YAZ/Yasmin/Ocella, older forms of birth control pills have virtually no risk of gallbladder disease or hyperkalemia. You can learn more about the side effects of YAZ/Yasmin/Ocella, and about YAZ lawsuits, HERE.
If you or a loved one has died, suffered a stroke, blood clot, heart attack, arrhythmia or had their gallbladder removed after using YAZ, Yasmin or Ocella oral contraceptives, contact the YAZ lawyers of DeCarli Law for a free consultation.
