On December 23, 2011, Marc Hersh filed a Yasmin lawsuit alleging massive cerebral infarct and death resulting from Yaz birth control pills. With the help of a Yasmin lawyer, Hersh filed on behalf of himself, his minor son, Shane Hersh, and his decedent wife, Dayna Hersh. The case will be heard in California Superior Court in the County of Los Angeles.
Yasmin Lawsuit Joins Coordinated Litigation in California
California Superior Court is the headquarters for consolidated litigation in a statewide proceeding against Bayer. Judge Elihu M. Berle will oversee the group litigation, or master complaint, which alleges Yaz side effects including blood clots, which may lead to serious health risks including Yaz pulmonary embolism or stroke, as suffered by Dayna Hersh. In addition to Yaz blood clots and related side effects, the master complaint also accuses Bayer, the manufacturer of Yaz and Yasmin oral contraceptives, of failing to properly warn the public regarding risks from the medications.
Yasmin Lawyer Alleges Yaz Stroke
The Hersh lawsuit alleges that Dayna Hersh died from a massive cerebral infarct, or brain stroke, on January 26, 2011. Hersh is survived by her husband and son, both named as co-plaintiffs. Their lawsuit alleges that Dayna Hersh's stroke was the result of blood clots developed after taking Yasmin birth control pills. Both Yaz and Yasmin, which contain drospirenone, have been linked to blood clots that can form in a patient's eyes, legs, brain or lungs. Yaz stroke occurs when a blood clot blocks sufficient oxygen and nutrients from entering the brain. As a result of Yaz stroke, the Hersh lawsuit seeks damages from Bayer for counts of deceit by concealment, loss of consortium, negligence and wrongful death.
