AttorneyOne.com, a recognized authority on law, updated the website recently and they are now actively providing expert opinion in view of the recent news on Yasmin Side Effect lawsuits. 

Court data updated on March 5th, 2013, by the US Judicial Panel on Multi-District Litigation (MDL), indicate that there are 9,566 actions currently pending in the Yasmin/Yaz MDL (MDL 2100, US District Court, Southern District of Illinois).  Yasmin, which was approved by the FDA in 2001, and its sister drug Yaz, which was approved in 2006, are oral contraceptives that combine estrogen and a fourth generation progestin, drospirenone, to prevent pregnancy.  Yasmin and Yaz are manufactured by Bayer Healthcare Pharmaceuticals. 

As Thomson Reuters published on March 4th, 2013, Bayer AG set aside $1.5 billion in 2012 to cover Yasmin and Yaz lawsuits.  According to the report, plaintiffs claim the pills caused blood clots that resulted in heart attacks, strokes and death. 

Taking into consideration the latest developments, AttorneyOne.com updated the website and, now, can actively provide an expert opinion including how to get in contact with legal counsel easily and inexpensively in case of alleged Yaz severe complications.  Sean Burke, director of Media Relations for AttorneyOne.com, adds that the relevant information illustrates that people continue to file Yasmin and Yaz lawsuits. " For that reason", he continues, "our focus should squarely fall on getting the word out and assisting people in finding the right legal assistance.” 

On December 11th, 2012, five plaintiffs filed a lawsuit in Illinois Southern District Court (case no.  3:2012cv11630) alleging they suffered serious medical issues from their use of Yasmin and Yaz.
