Ocella Side Effects and You
Saturday, November 28th, 2009Studies executed on healthy, premenopausal women in the Netherlands specified that Yaz, Yasmin, and Ocella (Yaz generic) suffered an enhanced risk of venous thrombosis as compared to non-users. The risks were increased as high as five-fold with oral contraceptive pills. These studies were published in August 2009. This was simply the beginning of the contention surrounding Yaz, Yasmin, and Ocella and the subsequent lawsuits to come involving Yaz side effects.
Mass Tort is simply civil claim that covers a number of plaintiffs. This action is taken against one or more corporate defendants in court. Unlike a class action where a number of people take it upon themselves to bring forth litigation jointly, in mass tort the original plaintiffs and attorneys use mass media outlets to reach other possible plaintiffs that they would not ordinarily know about. Those TV ads and newspaper solicitations wondering if you are a loved one have been effected by a particular product are the result of a mass tort ruling.
Any women that have been hurt as a result of taking Yaz, Yasmin or Ocella may be entitled to compensation. Many lawyers and legal aid agencies such as thelegaladvocate.com now provide assistance to anyone experiencing side effects and health issues as a direct result of using Yasmin contraception. Now that more women across the United States are coming forward and filing lawsuits, the legal system is moving closer to providing justice for those who were misled by the birth control manufacturers and possibly their doctors.
