Birth Control Pill "Yaz" Class Action Lawsuit Underway

"Meyerkord and Meyerkord, a Legacy of Legal Innovation"

Michelle Pfleger, a young, beautiful freshman at Elon University suddenly collapsed one day on her way to class. The cause of death according to the medical examiner was blood clots in her lungs. The medication responsible for her death, according to her mother and a team of legal experts was the birth control pill/acne medicine known as Yaz. The lawsuit that her mother is bringing against pharmaceutical giant Bayer, for the death of her daughter is part of a class action lawsuit being brought against the company nationally. The lawyers for the plaintiffs claim that Yaz, Yasmin and the generic versions have a dangerous combination of progestin and estrogen that can cause fatal blood clots in consumers. Additionally, the lawyers allege that Bayer violated New Jersey and North Carolina consumer protection laws 'knowingly and falsely representing that Yaz was fit to be used for the purpose for which they were intended, when in fact the drugs were defective and dangerous.' In fact, this group of drugs has been blamed for 50 reported deaths between 2004 and 2008 and potentially many more unreported deaths according to the lawsuit. However, a Bayer spokesperson fervently denies that it would ever promote an unfit product and that they will fight the lawsuit.
