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.
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.

Yaz Lawsuits Proceed, Stroke, Pulmonary Embolism and Blood Clots From Yaz, Yaz is the largest MDL in the U.S
Yaz lawyers are filing Yaz lawsuits for blood clots, pulmonary embolism, stroke, deep vein thrombosis and in some cases death. The Yaz helpline speaks to mothers, friends, and husbands of victims daily. Wome have become unsuspecting victims of pharmaceitical companies who allowed a product on the market that has been shown to have sever complications for young women.
More than 12,000 Yaz lawsuits have been filed.
More than 12,000 Yaz lawsuits have been filed in the U.S. by women who allege complications from the contraceptives Yaz or Yasmin. These contraceptives contain drospirenone, a synthetic progestin that has been found to cause blood clots. A blood clot in the brain can cause a stroke; a blood clot deep in a vein causes deep vein thrombosis; and a blood clot in the lung can cause pulmonary embolism. Most of the Yaz lawsuits allege blood clots, stroke, pulmonary embolism, or deep vein thrombosis, but some claim other complications such as gallbladder disease.
To date, Bayer has paid out more than $400 million to settle more than 1,800 Yaz lawsuits. The company also announced that it has put aside an additional $610 million for future Yaz lawsuit settlements. This would bring the total to more than $1 billion. However, some industry experts have expressed the opinion that Bayer may end up paying as much as $2.5 billion by the time all the lawsuits are settled.
A Yaz multidistrict litigation, or MDL, was established in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Illinois under Chief Judge David R. Herndon to consolidate thousands of these lawsuits. The Institute for Safe Medication Practices recently reported that the Yaz MDL is the largest MDL in the U.S.
On April 10, 2012, FDA updated the drug labels for drospirenone-containing birth control pills, including Yasmin and Yaz. The new labels report that some epidemiologic studies reported as high as a three-fold increase in the risk of blood clots for drospirenone-containing products when compared to products containing levonorgestrel or some other progestins.
The Yaz Birth Control Pills Helpline is here to help victims of Yaz and offer support and assist in participating in the Yaz lawsuits. Yaz lawyers accepting clients for Yaz.

Virginia Yaz Birth Control Helpline News
Richmond, VA: Although Bayer is currently settling thousands of Yasmin lawsuits, Yaz and Yasmin attorneys say it isn't too late to file a Yasmin claim. As of April 26, the drug company says it has settled 651 cases and thousands more are pending.
Yasmin lawyers advise claimants to contact their attorney if they haven't yet been notified about a possible settlement with their case. Law firms with the largest amount of cases are being contacted first.
In its Stockholders' Newsletter for the first quarter, Bayer said it has paid $142 million in the settlements, averaging about $218,000 a case. On April 13, the drug manufacturer agreed to pay about $110 million to settle the first 500 Yasmin lawsuits in the US, according to Bloomberg News. Pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis (DVT) cases are being settled and at this point, the company is not considering settlement of any gallbladder cases. By April 18, the company said it faced 11,900 Yaz and Yasmin lawsuits involving approximately 14,000 plaintiffs.
However, Bayer is not admitting any wrongdoing in any of the settlements, even though in early April the FDA ordered Bayer and other contraceptive makers to include stronger blood-clot warnings on their products. Researchers say that birth control pills containing drospirenone may triple the risk for blood clots.
Richard Vosser, a JPMorgan Chase & Co. analyst, predicts that Bayer may have to pay more than $2.65 billion to resolve all the venous clot injury cases over its birth control pills, which may include all contraceptives containing the synthetic hormone drospirenone.
Yasmin and Yaz litigation, including about 50 wrongful death lawsuits filed between 2004 and 2008, has plagued Bayer since 2009. The suits claim that Bayer did not properly inform women of the risks involved, and it marketed Yasmin and Yaz for off-label uses, to treat acne, premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and heavy menstrual bleeding.
Despite these huge payouts, Bayer reported that sales and profits in the first quarter were higher than analysts' estimates. And it would appear that Bayer does have deep pockets. Sales of its contraceptives amounted to $1.58 billion in 2010 alone.
