24 year old pediatric nurse and former Yaz user nearly died and was struck blind. She blames her injuries on side-effects caused from Bayer's Yaz contraceptive product.

Recently engaged and hoping to look her best for her upcoming wedding, she took Yaz for bloating and acne. Soon after, she began to experience extreme leg pain. Very soon, she was gasping for air. On the way to the hospital, her heart stopped where she was pronounced dead for 4 minutes. After almost 2 weeks in a coma, she woke up completely blind. She blames Yaz for this.

At the time, Bayer was marketing the Yaz product as a miracle PMS pill. Sales soared to over 2 billion dollars a year, making it the company's top selling product. Bayer executives were absolutely giddy with the products success, but the FDA was not impressed in the way Yaz was being marketed, pointing out that Bayer was falsely advertising Yaz, as it was not effective against common PMS. They forced Bayer to amend their advertising campaign. Company denied wrong doing, but agreed to spend 20M on corrective ads. Bayer sites its own studies that Yaz is just as safe as other forms of birth control. However several independant studies have put the risk of Yaz 2 to 3 times higher. Dr. Susan Jick ran such a study involving 1 million women using the Yaz product. She later sent her findings to Bayer for review. She received no response.

Thousands of women are now sueing Bayer over the Yaz contraceptive, even though the company admits no wrong doing and has refused to be interviewed on the matter.
