A Bay Area woman says the popular birth control pill known as Yaz caused her to have a stroke which has devastated her life. She is suing the drug's maker, Bayer, to take the pill off the market.

Bayer now faces more than 125 lawsuits over its Yaz contraceptive and new cases are being filed around the country at a rate of up to up to six a day. All the cases claim that the new ingredient "drospirenone" used in Yaz causes more dangerous blood clots to form.
