HARRISBURG, PA – Late yesterday
the Pennsylvania Supreme Court unanimously rejected Bayer’s request to halt
legal proceedings over its birth control drug Yaz. “This is a huge victory for
consumers from Pennsylvania and across the United States” said Michael Morrill,
Executive Director of Keystone Progress. “Bayer has been reckless in
distributing a drug that had potentially lethal medical impacts. The Supreme Court’s ruling means that
consumers will soon be able to get justice in our courts.”
This is yet another legal loss for Bayer on this issue as
the First District Courts, the Intermediate Appellate Courts and now the
Pennsylvania Supreme Court have all decided that these cases should be allowed
to move forward.
As of November 2011, there were 1,795 cases pending in
which thousands of women from across the country have claimed their health has
been severely damaged by Bayer’s birth control drugs Yaz, Yasmin, and Ocella.
The alleged health impacts have included increased risk of blood clots and
gallbladder surgery. Since Bayer’s
headquarters are located in Pennsylvania, the women have filed in Pennsylvania
at Philadelphia’s Complex Litigation Center (CLC). The CLC has been nationally
recognized to efficiently and fairly handle similar cases in the past.

The original ref. 6204 was produced for a year or less, and even that rolex replica sale same year a few other versions of the Rolex Submariner were being produced or planned.

This has led to an extremely rich rolex replica sale area for collectors because so many versions existed early on in the model's history. Today in 2013 the Rolex Submariner is sized at 40mm wide, which is no larger than medium by most watch standards. The original 1953 Rolex Submariner was rolex replica uk just 37mm wide. It was also water resistant to just 100 meters. Rolex quickly increased that to near 200 meters and today the Rolex Submariner is known by everyone to be replica watches uk water resistant to 300 meters.
