Yaz Recall Attorney Discusses A Young Girl's Death Blamed On Yaz
For several months, Missouri Yaz Lawyers have been staying up-to-date on the recall of the popular birth control Yaz. Bayer, the maker of Yaz, is still under fire from users of the pill who have suffered from the dangerous side effects of blood clots, heart attacks, and a stroke. Recently, the drug maker is being blamed in the sudden death of a teenager in Independence Township, North Carolina.
The mother of 18-year-old, Michelle Pfleger has openly blamed the birth control for a blood clot that killed her daughter. Michelle was on her way to Elon University on September 14, 2010 to attend her morning classes when she collapsed. She died shortly after arriving at the hospital. According to the North Carolina Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, the official cause of death was recorded as a pulmonary thromboemboli, which is an obstruction of blood vessels in the lungs. The teenager's mother believes that the Yaz birth control is what killed her daughter since a pulmonary thromboemboli is basically a blood clot.
The day before Michelle Pfieger died, she was treated for a knee injury with a painkiller, but the medical examiner does not believe that her death was related to the injury. According to the Eastern Express Times interview with Dr. Alberto Estrada from Phillipsburg's Warren Hospital vascular lab, it is rare for an 18-year-old girl to die as a result of a pulmonary thromboemboli, but there is no certainty that the birth control pill is related to the cause of death. However, the birth control pill could be a contributing factor if the conditions were right at the time of her death.
