When the oral contraceptives Yasmin and Yaz came on the market in 2001 and 2006, respectively, they were thought to be safer than other birth control pills because they contained a different kind of synthetic progestin.

Federal regulators are requiring Bayer Healthcare to revise its marketing materials for Yaz and Yasmin to reflect new safety information that was recently added to the drugs’ labels. In a letter to Bayer dated April 7, the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) said revisions must include “prominent disclosure of the important new safety information.”
Bayer announced that it was updating the “Warning” sections of the Yaz and Yasmin labels to include additional information about the risk of blood clots associated with the birth control pills. The new information is based on two large, multiyear studies of more than 120,000 women taking contraceptives in the U.S. and the U.K., Bayer said.

The parents of a 7-year-old girl killed by a falling concrete slab last year allege in a lawsuit that the slab was part of a sanitary sewer structure built by the city and later abandoned.

Ryan and Amanda Crow are seeking damages against the city for the death of their daughter, Macie Crow, and injuries to their son, 9-year-old Jordan Crow. The children were playing in a deteriorated concrete structure in a ravine near their home when part of the structure collapsed.

City officials said at the time that they did not know what the structure had been but speculated that it was part of a long-abandoned industrial site. The lawsuit says it was part of a sanitary sewer built by the city in 1978.
