A lawsuit has been filed against Bayer Pharmaceuticals, claiming the company sold birth control pills they knew could cause organ failure. In her lawsuit, Louise Thanos claimed that she experienced gall bladder failure after taking the birth control pill Yaz. Other women have filed similar lawsuits across the country, claiming the pills cause life-threatening blood clots and organ problems. They say the company knows or should know that the pills created a higher risk for strokes, heart attacks, deep vein thrombosis and liver and kidney disease for those who use them. Thanos claims in her lawsuit that the drug contains an insufficiently tested synthetic hormone that is dangerous to women. She is seeking unspecified damages.
