Yaz MDL Order
May 5, 2011, by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.
The MDL Panel ordered a Yaz plaintiff to remain in the Yaz MDL in a recent order.
What are the facts? I have no idea. All I have seen is the order. The facts are hard to put together but it sounds like the Plaintiff is a defendant in a car accident case. I'm thinking the her Yaz side effects allegedly caused a car accident. But I have no idea.
The moral of the story, I think, is that the MDL Panel is going to keep parties in the MDL if the are making the same core factual allegations as the other Yaz lawsuits but the federal judge presiding over the Yasmin and Yaz MDL may, in his discretion, come to a different decision.
