Recently, Bloomberg news reported on an announcement from Bayer saying that it has settled 651 cases where the plaintiff is alleging that its birth control medications, Yaz and Yasmin, were the cause fatal of blood clots that can lead to deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolisms, heart attacks and strokes. Bayer claims the company has paid $142 million in the settlements, averaging roughly $218,000 per case.
Bayer also states the drug manufacturer “is only settling U.S. patient claims for venous clot injuries (deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism) after a case specific analysis of medical records.”
An April 13, 2012 report from Bloomberg statesBayer has agreed to settle the first 500 suits for around $110 million. According to this report, the settlement update surfaced less than two weeks after JPMorgan Chase & Co analyst, Richard Vosser, said Bayer may have to pay more than $2.65 billion to settle all cases related to Yaz and Yasmin. The line-up of contraceptives spurred $1.85 billion in 2010.
If you or a loved one suffered an injury as a result of taking Yaz, Yasmin or Ocella, you may be entitled to compensation. Reported injuries associated with these medications have been heart attacks, strokes, gall bladder disease, pulmonary embolisms, and deep vein thrombosis.
