Reports of Yaz side effects continue to rise as the manufacturers of Yaz, Yasmin and Ocella prepare themselves for further judicial proceedings and more future suits. Bayer Healthcare Pharmaceuticals, makers of Yasmin and Yaz, and Barr Pharmaceuticals, makers of the generic version Ocella have been bombarded with allegations leading from downplaying the severity of side effects in their advertisements to knowingly letting loose a dangerous and potentially deadly product on American women.

Mass Tort is simply civil lawsuit that encompasses a number of complainants. This action is taken against one or more corporate litigants in court. Unlike a class action where a group of people take it upon themselves to bring forth litigation together, in mass tort the original plaintiffs and lawyers use mass media resources to reach other possible plaintiffs that they would not ordinarily find. Those TV ads and websites wondering if you are a loved one have been effected by a particular product are the result of mass tort status.

Any women that have been injured as a result of taking Yaz, Yasmin or Ocella may be eligible to recompense. Many attorneys and legal aid agencies such as thelegaladvocate.com now extend assistance to anyone living with side effects and health issues as a direct result of using Yaz contraception. Now that more adult females across the U.S. are coming forward and filing lawsuits, the legal system is moving closer to furnishing justice for those who were misinformed by the birth control manufacturers and possibly their doctors.
