YAZ Settlements

Currently, thousands of women are seeking Yaz settlements from Bayer Corporation, the maker of Yaz, Yasmin and Ocella. This number is expected to rise as word of the injuries relating to their serious side effects continues to be disclosed and announced to the public.

Am I eligible for a YAZ settlement?

If you have taken Yaz, Yasmin or Ocella, you may be one of those who have been harmed by Bayer Corporation’s alleged neglectful research and advertising of its own product, and thus eligible to seek a Yaz settlement. Even if you carry no symptoms related to Yaz, Yasmin and Ocella, it is suggested that you seek medical attention to ensure you have not been injured by the potential Yaz side effects the contraceptives can present. If you are experiencing symptoms such as severe chest pain, tingling of the hands and feet, or shortness of breath, the FDA suggests that you seek immediate medical attention, as these may be signs of a more serious condition related to taking these drugs. If you are diagnosed with related complications, or think that you may have suffered injury from Bayer’s alleged misleading advertising and research practices, you should consult an attorney to discuss your rights and eligibility for a Yaz settlement.

What claims are associated with a YAZ settlement?

Claims including medical conditions such as blood clots, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or a pulmonary embolism (PE), gallbladder disease, strokes and heart attacks are all currently being addressed under Yaz settlement actions. Also associated with Yaz settlements is the FDA’s announcement that Bayer Corporation marketed Yaz with misleading advertising. Bayer represented Yaz as providing relief to women who suffer from Premenstrual Disphoric Disorder, or PMDD. PMDD causes severe headaches, fatigue, irritability and body aches, and many consumers sought relief from these symptoms due to Bayer’s advertising. Because the ads “encourage use of YAZ in circumstances other than those in which the drug has been approved,” “over-promise the benefits,” and “minimize the risks associated with Yaz,” the FDA required Bayer to run corrective advertising in 2009. All of these factors are relevant in Yaz settlement litigation.

What could a YAZ settlement mean to me?

If you are suffering from the effects caused by the drugs Yaz, Yasmin or Ocella, you could be entitled to compensation. Due to Bayer’s FDA-criticized business practices and advertising of its products, victims suffering with these serious health issues may obtain Yaz settlement compensation to assist in any medical needs they may be experiencing. In addition to any current medical conditions, a Yaz settlement could assist victims and their families in the event that they are unable to continue with their employment or normal daily routines.
