New York Times: Yaz birth control health problems raise concerns

Our Yaz lawsuit attorneys are seeing more and more problems with Yaz birth control causing serious health problems in young women.

The New York Times is recognizing the problems facing Bayer Corporation, the makers of Yaz birth control, as the pharmaceutical giant is at the center of lawsuits, alledging that their most popular form of contraceptive is causing serious health issues to otherwise healthy young women.

Bayer was reprimanded by the FDA in 2009 and asked by them to change their television ads, calling them "misleading." The FDA also cited the company for not properly following proper quality control procedures at a plant that makes the ingredients.

The Times states:

"'The health questions and lawsuits may rattle consumer confidence, but the warnings from federal health authorities about advertising and quality control raise larger questions about Bayer's approach to complying with government rules,' said Michael A. Santoro, an associate professor at Rutgers Business School, who studied ethics in the pharmeceutical industry."
