Judge requests mass tort status for Yaz, Yasmin, and Ocella Contraceptives

Mass Tort Status Requested for Yaz, Yasmin and Ocella Contraceptives, by New Jersey Judge

According to a report on Law.com, New Jersey Judge Donald Volkert, Jr. has asked  the New Jersey judiciary to consolidate a number of cases stemming from strokes and other serious health complications suffered by women who have taken the oral contraceptives Yaz, Yasmin, and Ocella.  Those products are manufactured and marketed by Bayer Healthcare Pharmaceuticals and Teva Pharmaceuticals.

Yaz, Yasmin and Ocella Can Higher Risk of Pulmonary Embolism

Drospirenone found in Yaz, Yasmin and Ocella linked to serious health complications
Yaz, Yasmin, and Ocella all contain Drospirenone, a chemical ingredient not present in other oral contraceptives.  A recent study from the British Medical Journal has shown a higher risk of certain health complications from contraceptives with drospirenone.

Judge Volkert’s application suggests the consolidation would aid in efficiently resolving the claims.
