The mother of an 18-year-old B-C woman whose death is among those with suspected links to Yaz and Yasmin wants the popular birth control pills taken off the market. Chip McClaughry says she was shocked when her daughter Miranda Scott died three years ago because she was healthy all her life. Health Canada documents link Yaz and Yasmin to the deaths of at least 23 Canadian women, mostly due to blood clots. The youngest victim was 14 years old. Those deaths are among 600 negative reactions reported by women taking the pills over a six-year period that ended last February. McClaughry is involved in a class-action lawsuit against Bayer, which makes Yaz and Yasmin. Bayer is standing by the products, saying they are safe and effective when used as directed. Without admitting liability, the company has paid about 1.2-billion dollars to settle thousands of lawsuit related to the products in the United States.
