The Yaz, Yasmin, Ocella is a group of birth control drugs that are oral contraceptives that contains progestin Drospirenone or DRSP.
The Yasmin birth control pill was originally developed by Berlex Laboratories, which has since been acquired by Bayer Pharmaceuticals.
Drospirenone is a diuretic drug and if the body is dehydrated it can lead to blood clotting, stroke, heart attack and disruptive heart rhythms.
Swiss media reported that more than 200 women have died while taking Yaz and Yasmin, Bayer’s blockbuster birth control contraceptives.
Yazmin is one of the best-selling oral contraception birth control pills in the U.S., with sales of $616 million in 2007.
Yaz is a combination birth control pill that also contains progestin and estrogen. Yaz is considered a low-dose pill that it contains .035 milligrams or less of estrogen.
Yasmin, Yaz, Ocella lawsuits also state that Bayer pharmaceuticals over promoted the benefits of Yazmin and Yaz, and advertised the drug for non-FDA approved uses.
Over 6,850 lawsuits have been filed since February 2012. These lawsuits claim that Yazmin birth control pills led to deadly blood clots, gall bladder damage and kidney failure.
The Yasmin birth control pill, manufactured and marketed by Bayer Pharmaceuticals has been linked to a number of serious, life-threatening side effects including sudden death.
All of the Yamin lawsuits involve allegations which state that Bayer knew, or should have known and failed to disclose about the health risks involved with its birth control pills and put the health of women at risk.

The DePuy Pinnacle Ultamet Hip Implant is a metal-on-metal artificial hip system designed to replace hip joints that require surgery. DePuy Pinnacle Ultamet Hip Implants have joint components that produce metal debris after continuos friction. Metal debris are small enough to enter into the blood stream and surrounding tissues, causing a multitude of health risks and have been linked to a high number of serious injuries.

The DePuy Pinnacle Ultamet Hip Implant is remarkably similar to the DePuy ASR Hip Replacement when used with the metal liner option, but only the DePuy ASR Hip was recalled from the market. Both Hip Implants caused similar health problems due to the metal content and have proved to be dangerous to hip replacement candidates. Both of these products were also approved to be sold on the market through an FDA loophole which required virtually no safety testing or clinical trials before being introduced to the public. Fortunately, the loophole has been closed to future metal-on-metal hip replacement devices.

The main issue with these designs is that they caused a degree of metal toxicity in the blood. One of the biggest risks involved with prolonged exposure to high levels of chromium and cobalt in the blood, is that they cause surrounding tissues to become necrotic. When the tissue surrounding a defective hip implant becomes necrotic, the patient will no longer be able to walk. Even if a defective hip is replaced with a better one, the damage to the tissue remains, as well as the inability to walk.

Common side effects and injuries associate with the DePuy Pinnacle Ultamet Hip Implant include:
