Mass tort status is being considered in the lawsuits that have been filed against the makers of the birth control tablets Yasmin or Yaz and its generic form Ocella. This is largely due to the increasing number of lawsuits being filed across the country where victims claim stroke and other serious health problems caused by taking Yaz or Ocella. Yaz side effects range from ischemic stroke or heart attack, to pulmonary embolism and other blood clot related injuries.

There are already many lawsuits filed in various counties across the U.S. against the birth control manufacturer. This number is expected to reach 1,000. Any of those effected by Yaz, Yasmin, and Ocella can submit a case evaluation at thelegaladvocate.com to have a lawyer review their info in order to be provided with answers and hopefully legal representation.

Females taking Yasmin, Yaz or Ocella to avoid becoming pregnant or to treat PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder) or severe acne have reportedly withstood extreme injury to their health and wellbeing. Although not all pharmaceuticals are one-hundred percent safe, the main topic surrounding Yaz seems to be that the original commercials downplayed the health risks and side effects. This attracted users to the product that may not have taken it otherwise had they been properly informed about the risks posed by Ocella, Yasmin and Yaz.
