Mass tort status is being considered in the lawsuits that have been filed against the makers of the birth control pills Yasmin or Yaz and its generic form Ocella. This is largely due to the increasing number of cases 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.

There are already multiple lawsuits charged in various counties across the U.S. against the contraceptive producer. This number is expected to reach 1,000. Typically, those effected by Yaz, Yasmin, and Ocella can submit a case evaluation 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 advocate agencies such as thelegaladvocate.com now extend assistance to anyone experiencing side effects and health issues as a direct result of using Yaz contraception. Now that more adult females across the country are coming forward and filing lawsuits, the legal system is moving closer to providing justice for those who were misinformed by the birth control manufacturers and possibly their doctors.
