New Jersey judge seeks mass tort status for Yaz and Yasmin lawsuits

A Passaic County, New Jersey, judge has requested mass tort status for all of the state’s Yasmin, Yaz and Ocella lawsuits.

Requesting the consolidation is Judge Donald Volkert jr. Already in Passaic County, where Volkert sits, there are more than a dozen Yaz andYasmin lawsuits pending.

There are 26 additional Yaz and Yasmin mean lawsuits pending in other New Jersey counties. According to Volkert, Yasmin and Yaz plaintiffs lawyers in the state have told him the number could reach 1000. If assigned mass tort status, all the Yaz and Yasmin lawsuits would be assigned to one judge.

Typically mass tort status requests are made by plaintiffs’ lawyers, but the courts do allow judges to make these applications as well. Volkert acted out of concern for strain on the judiciary’s resources.

Volkert’s proposal is being considered by New Jersey’s Administrative Office of the Courts, and a ruling is expected sometime in early 2010.

Texas woman brings Yaz lawsuit, claims birth control pill killed unborn child

A Texas woman has brought a lawsuit against the makers of the Yaz and Yasmin birth control pills. In her Yaz lawsuit, the plaintiff claims that the birth control pills caused a blood clot resulting in the death of her unborn child.

The plaintiff is Candice Richardson. Richardson’s suit names Bayer Healthcare LLC and Bayer Healthcare Pharmaceuticals, Inc. as defendants. Her lawsuit alleges that the companies misrepresented the benefits of Yaz and Yasmin while also hiding the risk of serious side effects.

According to Richardson’s lawsuit, Yasmin and/or Yaz caused her to suffer “blood clotting and related injuries,” which resulted in hospitalization and, ultimately, the “stillbirth of her daughter at 27 weeks of pregnancy.”

The lawsuit does not specify whether Richardson was taking Yasmin or Yaz at the time she developed the blood clot.

In the lawsuit, Richardson alleges that Bayer produced a defective product that resulted in both injuries to herself and the wrongful death of her unborn baby. Causes of action listed in the lawsuit include:

•Negligence
•Negligent misrepresentation
•Manufacturing and design defect
•Defect caused by inadequate warnings
•Breach of warranty
•Violations of the Deceptive Trade Practices Act
Richardson is seeking damages for pain and suffering and medical expenses as well as punitive damages.

Yaz lawsuits: What is Ocella?

Ocella, along with Yaz and Yasmin, poses serious risks to the women who take this oral contraceptive. Serious side effects that are associated with Yaz, Yasmin and Ocella include stroke, heart attack and pulmonary embolism. Tragically, these birth control pills have proven fatal in some cases.
