Yaz Settlements IN, Get Your Yaz Lawyer Today
The Yaz settlements are in.Women should be filing their Yaz lawsuits before it is too late.
Bayer agrees to settle Yasmin, Yaz Gallbladder lawsuits
Bayer’s latest annual financial report shows the company has spent nearly $1 billion to settle around 4,800 claims alleging Yaz blood clots, and will continue to evaluate new claims for settlement on a case-by-case basis.3/20/2013
By Terry Baynes
(Reuters) – Bayer AG has entered into an agreement to settle lawsuits filed by plaintiffs who claim to have suffered gallbladder injuries from the company’s Yasmin and Yaz oral contraceptives, according to court documents.
In a deal reached on Friday, Bayer agreed to pay up to $24 million to settle gallbladder injury claims consolidated in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Illinois, as well as in state courts in California, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
Under the agreement, Bayer will pay $2,000 to plaintiffs who suffered gallbladder injuries and $3,000 to individuals who had their gallbladders removed, according to the agreement. The gallbladder mainly aids in fat digestion, but it is a non-essential organ people can generally live without, according to the National Digestive Diseases Information Clearinghouse.
The payments may be reduced, depending on the number of women who file claims, as the settlement is capped at $24 million. Bayer reserved the right to walk away from the settlement if fewer than 90 percent of the individuals who are eligible for payment choose to participate in the settlement.
Bayer said in a statement that it did not believe that the Yaz and Yasmin birth control pills increase the risk of gallbladder disease, compared to other oral contraceptives.
“Nevertheless the company has agreed to this settlement, without admission of liability, in order to avoid protracted and expensive litigation and to resolve the vast majority of pending gallbladder claims,” a Bayer spokeswoman said in an emailed statement. She said the $24 million settlement was likely less than the legal costs of defending against the suits.
Since 2009, Bayer, Germany’s largest drugmaker, has been hit by a wave of lawsuits claiming that the company knew or should have known of the health risks allegedly posed by the Yasmin and Yaz contraceptives and failed to warn users. The company is facing around 10,000 lawsuits in the United States over the drugs, Bayer said in its annual report filed in February.
BLOOD CLOT DAMAGES
The report said Bayer had reached agreements to pay $1 billion to settle claims by 4,800 women or their representatives in the United States who say the pill caused blood clots that resulted in heart attacks, strokes or other injuries. After reviewing safety data, the Food and Drug Administration in April 2012 ordered revised labels on birth control pills, including Yasmin and sister drug Yaz, to strengthen blood clot warnings.
There are around 8,000 filed lawsuits that allege gallbladder injuries, said David Zoll, an Ohio lawyer representing 500 women who say they suffered a range of injuries from Yasmin and Yaz. The latest settlement is open to plaintiffs who alleged a gallbladder injury, either alone or in combination with some other claim.
Zoll said it would be “foolish” for women with both gallbladder and blood clot injuries to opt for the gallbladder settlement since they would be barred from also collecting a blood clot settlement, which is typically larger. Damages in blood clot cases can exceed $100,000, he said.
Women who do collect $3,000 for gallbladder removals may not be left with much after deducting lawyers’ fees, filing fees and the costs of obtaining medical records. Health insurance plans may also be able to claim any leftover amount to reimburse what they paid for medical expenses, Zoll said. Nevertheless, he strongly encouraged his clients with gallbladder injuries to accept the settlement.
While modest, the settlement was the best lawyers for the plaintiffs could achieve, Zoll said, given the lack of epidemiological studies showing that users of Yasmin and Yaz have a higher risk of gallbladder disease, compared to other oral contraceptives.
Drugs and Device Harming Women, Mirena IUD, Vaginal Mesh, Yaz
There appears to be many drugs and devices harming women and many of these are from the same manufacturer.
Bayer the Manufacturer or Yaz, Mirena IUD
Both Yaz and the Mirena IUD are birth control devices with severe and harmful side effects.
Yaz causes blood clots which result in Heart attacks, stroke, pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis. These medical problems can be fatal and result in death or severe long term disability. Yaz has had some settlements already for Yaz lawsuits.
The Mirena IUD is just starting to hit the airwaves. lawyers are taking notice of the side effects and Mirena IUD lawsuits are being filed. The Mirena IUD gravitates from position and becomes embedded in the uterus or a nearby organ which results in a perforation, The device must be surgically removed at that point with severe ,sometimes permanent, injury.
The Mirena IUD has Severe Complications
- Embedment and Perforation of the Uterine Wall
- Migration from Uterus into Intestines and Abdomen with perforation
- Expulsion
- Mirena IUD causes Ectopic Pregnancy
- Mirena IUD can cause Infertility
- Surgical Intervention to Remove IUD, including Hysterectomy as well other permanent disability
- Potential Death
Bayer Mirena IUD Causing Uterine Perforations, Mirena IUD Lawyers, Mirena IUD Lawsuits
Mirena IUD has been harming women. The Mirena, Like Yaz is manufactured by Bayer. The Mirena IUD device is gravitating and becoming embedded in the uterus and nearby organs resulting in Uterine and nearby organ perforation.
Nationwide Mirena IUD lawyers are filing Mirena IUD lawsuitd for women with organ perforation from ther Mirena IUD. We expect 1000′s of Mirena IUD lawsuits. Lawsuits are being filed on behalf of women who have had the Mirena gravitate from the position of implantation and become embedded in the uterus have begun. Perforations and other complications are the result of this movement of the IUD. Women are once again the target, just like with Yaz, and must stand up for justice.
The Mirena IUD is a small, t-shaped, plastic birth control IUD that is inserted into the uterus. It prevents pregnancy by releasing a low dose of levonorgestrel (a synthetic progestin hormone) directly into the uterus. Mirena was approved in 2000 as a contraceptive, and its approval was expanded in 2009 for the treatment of heavy menstrual bleeding for women who desire to use an IUD as contraception. In 2009, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) issued a letter to Bayer Healthcare Pharmaceuticals after the agency found that one of its Mirena promotions overstated the positive uses of the device and minimized its risks. Among other things, the Mirena FDA warning letter cited marketing claims emphasizing Mirena will improve a woman’s sex life and help her “look and feel great.” Bayer is known for it’s advertising to women for freedom with their contraceptive products as we saw the same thing with Yaz. Yaz now has 1000′s of lawsuits filed for blood clots and Bayer has begun the first round of settlements for Yaz.
The Mirena is a device oriented toward women and harming many women. Call today and speak to a female social worker. We are particularly interested in women where the device has moved, become embedded in the uterus and resulted in uterine or organ perforation.

1 877 522-2123 Polypropylene Knitted Mesh (PPKM) fabrics are comprised of monofilament yarns, which are engineered for the manufacturing of textile fabrics. The polymer and manufacturing processes that are used produce fabrics with properties that are used in the manufacturing of medical devices including hernia mesh patches, stress urinary incontinence (SUI) slings, and vaginal prolapse suspenders or known as the The Vaginal Mesh.
Problems with polypropylene fabrics have led to warnings being issued for various products made from nonwoven material and in some cases, the manufacturers have stopped marketing the products
According to adverse reports submitted to the FDA from nine different manufacturers, more than 1,000 people have suffered severe complications from surgical mesh implants. The reports include infection, pain, urinary problems and bowel, bladder or blood-vessel perforations. The repaired prolapse may have recurred or incontinence increased. Additional surgeries to remove mesh have been required because of vaginal erosion.
Transvaginal Surgical Mesh to Treat SUI
Sudden Urinary Incontinence (SUI) is estimated to affect as many as 11 million women in the United States. It is generally defined as the sudden, involuntary loss of urine when a patient is laughing, sneezing, coughing or exercising. SUI is caused by anything that may have led to serious pelvic muscle strain or weakness such as vaginal childbirth. It can be exacerbated by estrogen and other hormonal imbalance accompanying menopause. This has a huge effect on our baby boomer population.
Nearly 40% of all adult American women will experience various degrees of SUI during their lifetime. Symptoms can range from occasional leakage of a few drops of urine to complete loss of urine under certain conditions of stress. Although nonsurgical methods such as dietary changes, bladder retraining, Kegel exercises, biofeedback, pessaries,and drug therapies have been used successfully to treat these women, many patients eventually require surgical repair to relieve their symptoms.
Transvaginal Surgical Mesh to Treat POP vaginalmeshhelpline.com
The problem of incontinence for women from various causes becomes more common after pregnancy and in menopause, when surgery can be recommended after other non-intrusive treatments are not found effective.
These conditions are referred to as Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP).
POP is the term that describes a condition when a pelvic organ drops from its normal location and pushes against the walls of the vagina. This generally occurs when muscles that hold pelvic organs in place are weakened or stretched by childbirth or surgery. POP can lead to symptoms that include pain, discomfort, loss of bladder control and constipation, infection, organ perforation and painful sexual intercourse .
One popular product, known as the transobturator vaginal sling, was made by Mentor Corporation. This product was more commonly called “OB Tape.”
Mentor manufactured an OB Tape vaginal sling that was not recalled, but the company stopped marketing it in the spring of 2006. The product used a nonwoven material which made it different in design than most other mesh devices. The nonwoven fabric is alleged to have blocked oxygen and nutrients, substantially increasing the risk of problems such as infection. This impedance potentially can cause serious problems with the device that may not appear for months, or even years following implantation surgery.
If you have had this surgery and are experiencing symptoms immediately contact your health care provider.

THis Aricle explanins some of the issues Regarding yaz Birth Contol Pills. Yaz can cause blood clots that can be fatal.Bayer Starts Settling Some Yaz Lawsuits
By Ed Silverman // April 13th, 2012 // 8:44 am
File this under ‘what a surprise!’ Three months after a federal judge ordered mediation for Bayer and lawyers representing thousands of women who claim the Yaz and Yasmin birth control pills cause sometimes fatal blood clots (back story), the drugmaker has agreed to settle 500 lawsuits for about $110 million. Lawyers involved in the sprawling litigation against Bayer have cited FDA reports of at least 50 deaths tied to the pills between 2004 to 2008.
Although some 11,300 lawsuits are still lodged in courts around the US, an effort to settle some cases was predictable. The move, which was first reported by Bloomberg News, comes just as the FDA had Bayer upgrade the product labeling for both pills to reflect the increased risk of blood clots (back story). This change may, in fact, prompt still more lawsuits. A Bayer spokeswoman confirms that some lawsuits are being settled, but would not comment further.
The lawsuits allege Yaz and Yasmin have risks beyond those of traditional birth control pills and Bayer too aggressively promoted the pills without disclosing those higher risks. Last year, a pair of studies found that women taking birth control pills containing drospirenone – the active ingredient in the Bayer pills – are more likely to develop blood clots than those who take an older oral contraceptive (see this and this).
Late last year, an FDA advisory committee voted 21-to-5 to change the labeling for both pills to reflect a higher risk of blood clots. But the panel did not approve a warning that Yaz and Yasmin patients are more likely to develop blood clots than those using other birth control pills. An FDA study, meanwhile, had found a 74 percent increased risk of blood clots in women using contraceptives containing drospirenone, the main ingredient in the Bayer pills.
However, the FDA has since been widely criticized for its handling of the committee meeting. Before the gathering, the FDA yanked Sid Wolfe of the Public Citizen Health Research group from the panel due to an intellectual conflict of interest (read here). Afterwards, concerns were raised because four panel members held ties to Bayer, either as paid consultants or in the form of research funding, but the FDA did not disclose the conflicts, prompting the Project on Government Oversight, a watchdog group, to ask the FDA to convene an entirely new meeting
