Why is Bayer legally responsible for injuries suffered by women taking Yaz, Yasmin, and Ocella?

0

Manufacturers of prescription drugs have a duty to patients to produce safe products, and to warn patients and their doctors of any adverse health effects. In lawsuits filed against Bayer by patients represented by Lieff Cabraser, the patients allege that Bayer sold Yaz, Yasmin, and Ocella without adequate warnings about the increased risk of serious injuries and, specifically, failed to warn doctors and patients that Yaz and Yasmin are more dangerous than other oral birth control pills on the market. Patients have further charged that Bayer improperly advertised and over-promoted Yaz for uses such as treating acne and PMDD, while knowing that the risks of such use outweighed any benefits Yaz may have for acne sufferers and those with symptoms of PMDD.
