Suffered An Adverse Reaction To Yaz?

Our Columbus Injury Attorneys Will Help You Seek Justice

Yaz is the brand name for an oral contraceptive, which primarily contains the drug drospirenone.  Bayer marketed and sold Yaz, and Bayer advertised that it treated a number of different conditions as well as being a safe contraceptive with few side effects.  However, in 2008, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) cited Bayer for exaggerating about the approved uses for their drug, while at the same time underplaying or completely omitting the dangers in their advertisements.  If you or someone you love suffered an adverse reaction to Yaz, contact an experienced Columbus injury lawyer from Kitrick, Lewis & Harris, Co. L.P.A. You may be eligible to file a product liability lawsuit and seek fair compensation for your injuries.  The personal injury attorneys at Kitrick, Lewis & Harris, Co. L.P.A. have decades of combined experience litigating defective drug lawsuits, and we are dedicated to making sure that you and your family receive justice if you have been hurt by a drug company’s negligence.

Lawsuits Filed Against Bayer

In October of 2009, Bayer disclosed information about numerous lawsuits filed against the company.  These lawsuits include numerous allegations, including:

• Failing to adequately disclose risks associated with the drug
• Exaggerating the uses for which the FDA had approved Yaz
• Not properly researching Yaz before marketing it so that all dangerous side effects could be identified
• Failing to recall Yaz after numerous agencies had discovered potentially life-threatening side effects about which Bayer had not warned consumers

If you have suffered an adverse reaction to Yaz, you may be in a position to file a lawsuit.  Unlike most areas of personal injury law, product liability cases do not require the defendant to be negligent in order to be liable for a consumer’s injuries.  Simply releasing a dangerous product can be grounds for liability.  However, these lawsuits are very complex, and drug companies do everything they can to avoid liability.  You need an experienced Columbus injury attorney on your side to even the playing field.
