NORTHERN KENTUCKY DANGEROUS DRUGS | YAZ YASMIN INJURIES

By September 2019, Bayer HealthCare, the manufacturer of Yasmin and Yaz, had received 74 lawsuits initiated by women who claimed that they developed health problems after taking this birth control product.  The manufacturer has stated that it will defend itself aggressively.Yaz and Yasmin are popular birth control products sold in the United States.  For Bayer, this oral contraceptive is its top-selling pharmaceutical line.  The company has spent millions of dollars on advertising to promote this product as more than just a pregnancy prevention, but also a way to treat acne and premenstrual depression.  Last year alone, this product line brouth in sales of $1.8 billion worldwide.

Yasmin was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2001 and Yaz, which contains a lower amount of estrogen, was approved in 2006.

Yaz and Yasmin Criticism

Women have recently been coming forward stating that Yaz and Yasmin have caused them to suffer serious health problems.  This oral contraceptive contains an ingredient known as drospirenone, which can increase potassium levels in the blood, leading to such health problems as heart attack, stroke, pulmonary embolism, kidney disease and deep vein thrombosis.  Women who are already at risk of a condition known as hyperkalemia or women who are taking medications that can raise the potassium levels in their bodies are at a higher risk of suffering injuries from this birth control.

According to an article by the New York Times, Bayer’s American unit responded to a reporter’s queries by stating that its birth-control drugs had been and continued to be studied.  The company also said that it stood behind safety of its products.

In the beginning of 2019, Bayer was contacted by the FDA, because of the company’s commercials.  The FDA instructed Bayer to correct the misleading television ads.    Then in the summer, the FDA cited Bayer for not adhering to proper quality control procedures at a manufacturing plant that produced hormone ingredients.

If you or a loved one has been injured from taking Yaz or Yasmin, you may be entitled to compensation.  Contact a

RONALD JOHNSON REPRESENTS THE BULLITT COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION IN VAPE CASE

Earlier this month The Bullitt County Board of Education filed a lawsuit against Juul, making them the first district in the state to go after the vape manufacturer. HJVE partner Ronald Johnson will be representing the school district in the case.

Ronald Johnson told the Courier-Journal, The Bullitt County Board of Education “has shown that it is in fact a leader in educational excellence by being the first school district in Kentucky to pass a resolution to file a lawsuit against Juul and the other corporations that manufacture, distribute and sell e-cigarettes and vaping products.”

We expect more school districts to come forward against Juul and other e-cigarette manufacturers too.

“In recent years, we have seen a dramatic increase in the number of infractions that involve vaping in our middle and high schools,” the Bullitt County Board of Education Superintendent Jesse Bacon said. He wants to hold Juul accountable for “creating this epidemic of nicotine addiction that affects the health of our students, disrupts the learning environment of our schools, and diverts resources away from the core mission of Bullitt County Public Schools, which is educating students.”

The district is seeking compensation for its anti-vaping efforts and lost instructional time and is blaming Juul for marketing their products to youth.

“We spent 30 years getting kids off cigarettes and we were very successful and now within a matter of three years, we have a whole generation that’s addicted to nicotine,” Ronald Johnson tells WDRB.com about the vaping epidemic. “The vaping companies have manipulated the way that the nicotine is delivered in these products because it’s much more potent and much less irritating to the throat, which was all designed to target kids. So, these kids are severely addicted to nicotine.”

We’ll keep you updated as the case continues.

STUDY FINDS EVEN AMID CDC WARNINGS, TEENS ARE STILL VAPING IN RECORD NUMBERS

E-cigarettes and vape pens were introduced as a way to help adult smokers quit smoking. Unfortunately,that has not been the reality of who is using vape pens.Thanks to enticing marketing campaigns by manufacturers like Juul, younger generations have taken to using e-cigarettes and vape pens without realizing they contain nicotine or understanding the inherent risks.

A recent study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine,found teen vaping has sky rocketed over the last year.The National Institutes of Health released findings from a survey that shows the breakdown of adolescent usage in the past 30 days:

12th Graders: one in four

10th Graders: one in five

8th Graders: one in eleven

Since vaping is relatively new, the long-term health effects are still unknown. In recent months, there has been a respiratory illness linked to vaping that has already claimed the lives of seven people and sickened at least 380 people throughout the US and US Virgin Islands. With this mystery illness making headlines, the White House and state-wide governments have been taking a stance against vaping. Flavored e-cigarettes have been banned in certain states already with the White House planning for a nationwide ban.

In a recent statement, the CDC has urged everyone to stop using e-cigarettes, at least for now. “While this investigation is ongoing, people should consider not using e-cigarette products,” said Dana Meaney-Delman, the head of CDC’s investigation on the illness.

E-cigarettes, vape pens and Juul are becoming an epidemic amongst the nations’ youth. The safety of our youth and all users should be of the utmost priority, not these companies’ profits. The timeto hold these corporations responsible is now.
