Yasmin, the popular prescription contraceptive marketed and distributed by Bayer HealthCare Pharmaceuticals as “Yaz” has recently been linked to a number of serious side effects.
A Yasmin lawsuit attorney is a product liability lawyer who assists clients who have been harmed by a dangerous pharmaceutical or misled by deceptive marketing information. Under FDA pressure, Bayer recently backtracked on its claims regarding what the Yasmin birth control pill can and cannot do.

In Yasmin birth control lawsuits, an attorney protects the legal rights of women who were led to believe that taking Yasmin could eliminate their PMS (premenstrual syndrome) or that Yasmin could be used solely to clear up acne.
These claims by Bayer Healthcare – seen by millions of Americans over several months through television ads – were retracted after the FDA demanded that Bayer restrict its marketing of Yasmin to only FDA-approved applications of the drug.
Shortly thereafter, Yasmin’s television commercials changed significantly. The new version even features a woman acknowledging that “you may have seen some Yaz commercials recently that were not clear… the FDA wants us to correct a few points of those ads.” She goes on to clarify that Yasmin is approved to treat PMDD (premenstrual dysphoric disorder), not PMS.
Additionally, the commercial points out that Yasmin is not approved for maintaining clear skin and that there are a number of health risks and side effects associated with Yasmin use.
In 2007, Yasmin generated almost $500 million in revenue for Bayer in the U.S. alone. However, recent studies have shown that Yaz might not be as safe as first thought.
