Studies performed on healthy, premenopausal women in the Netherlands observed that Yaz, Yasmin, and Ocella (Yasmin generic) suffered an raised risk of venous thrombosis as compared to non-users. The risks were increased as high as five times with birth control pills. These reports were published in August 2009. This was only the beginning of the controversy surrounding Yaz, Yasmin, and Ocella and the consequent lawsuits to come involving Yaz side effects.

Mass Tort is simply civil claim that involves a number of plaintiffs. This action is taken against one or more corporate litigants in court. Unlike a class action where a number 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 know about. Those television and websites asking 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 hurt as a result of taking Yaz, Yasmin or Ocella may be entitled to recompense. Many attorneys and legal counsel agencies such as thelegaladvocate.com now provide assistance to anyone feeling 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 rendering justice for those who were misinformed by the birth control manufacturers and possibly their doctors.
