Yaz/Yasmin/Ocella

The newest birth control litigation involves Bayer Healthcare Pharmaceuticals who is the manufacturer of Yaz® and Yasmin® birth control pills and Barr Laboratories and Teva Pharmaceuticals who are now the manufacturers of Ocella®, the generic form of Yasmin®. In November 2009, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPMDL) granted a petition filed by plaintiffs and created a Yaz®/Yasmin® multidistrict litigation (MDL). All pending cases and all future lawsuits filed in the federal court system will be centralized for discovery purposes in the Southern District of Illinois before Judge David R. Herndon.

Schlichter Bogard & Denton attorneys have secured key leadership positions in MDL. Partner Roger Denton has been appointed the MDL’s liaison counsel. Megan Vanderbeek is a member of the Discovery committee. Beth Wilkins is a member of the Science and Expert committee and Law and Briefing committee. Kristine Kraft is a member of the Discovery and Science and Expert committee. Kristie Blunt is a member of the Law and Briefing committee.

There are hundreds of plaintiffs who have already filed a lawsuit in the MDL. Some have predicted thousands of cases will be consolidated into the Southern District of Illinois by the time the pre-trial discovery phase wraps up.
