Yaz FDA Warnings
There has been an growth, over the years, of patients reporting potentially fatal Yaz side effects. In 2008 the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) took notice, and required Bayer HealthCare create a new ad campaign due to their current ad campaign would overstate Yaz's uses while also down playing the severity of it's side effects. October of the following year Bayer HealthCare stated they had 129 Yaz related lawsuits filed against them.
This, though, was not the first problem the FDA had with Bayer HealthCare. In September of 2009 the FDA had cited that Bayer HealthCare had been distributing poor quality shipments of Yaz. Instead of maintaining the quality of each single batch they chose to monitor the 'average' quality of each shipment.
