Yasmin and Yaz are manufactured by Bayer Healthcare Pharmaceuticals.
On July 31, Bayer announced in its second-quarter 2013 report that, as of July 8, the company had reached agreements to settle approximately 6,760 Yasmin/Yaz lawsuits alleging deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism for about $1.4 billion.
