Yaz Health Scare Scandal
Drospirenone is just one of the elements assigned to the onslaught of Yaz side effects reported regularly in America. Drospirenone is an ingredient allegedly unlike other progestins in the United States and was not employed in America before appeared in Yasmin, Yaz and Ocella. Also consider that the Food & Drug Administration issued warning letter to the makers of Ocella, Yasmin and Yaz for using low-quality batches of drospirenone from Germany and you have the makings of a cautionary tale involving Big Pharma and its disregard for the people taking its pills.
Mass Tort is simply civil claim that covers a number of complainants. This process 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 together, in mass tort the original plaintiffs and law firms use mass media resources to reach other possible plaintiffs. Those television and websites questioning if you are a loved one have been effected by a particular product are the result of mass tort status.
Women taking Yasmin, Yaz or Ocella to avoid becoming pregnant or to treat PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder) or severe acne have reportedly suffered major injury to their health and wellbeing. Although most pharmaceuticals present some form of side effects, the main event surrounding Yaz seems to be that the original commercials downplayed the health risks and side effects. This attracted users to the product that may not have taken it otherwise had they been properly informed about the risks posed by Ocella, Yasmin and Yaz.
