    Yaz is a popular birth control pill, manufactured by Bayer, that has been linked with several adverse reactions, including heart attack, stroke, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism, gall bladder disease, and pancreatitis. In 2008, the FDA cited Bayer for failing to adequately address these risks. This prompted Bayer to launce a new ad campaign highlighting the potential dangers.
