On June 10, 2010, Wagners Law Firm filed a proposed common law class proceeding on behalf of all Canadian residents who have been prescribed the birth control medication known as Yasmin and Yaz. Yasmin and Yaz (which are manufactured by Bayer AG and its subsidiaries) are prescription birth control medications which unlike other contraceptives on the market contain a “fourth generation” progestin called drospirenone. Yasmin and Yaz were approved for sale in Canada in 2004 and 2008 respectively. The proposed class action concerned allegations regarding the safety of Yasmin and Yaz, including the risk of blood clots and other serious adverse health effects associated with their use.
