Yaz Side Effects: Nurse Charges Yaz Birth Control Drug “Altered My Life”
National plaintiffs’ law firm Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein, LLP announced that Candice Atkinson today filed a personal injury lawsuit against Bayer Corporation and Bayer Healthcare Pharmacuticals, Inc., for severe side effects from the prescription birth control drug Yaz, manufactured and marketed by Bayer. The complaint was filed in the Superior Court of New Jersey, where Bayer Healthcare Pharmacuticals, Inc., is located.
Atkinson, age 33 of Rock Hill, South Carolina, charges that Yaz is a dangerous prescription drug sold without adequate warnings about the risk of serious injuries. Atkinson further alleges that Bayer improperly advertised and over-promoted Yaz for uses such as treating acne, knowing that the risks of such use outweighed any benefits Yaz may have for acne sufferers.
