According to Yasmin lawsuits filed in several states, Yasmin allegedly contains a diuretic, drospirenone, which blocks the hormone aldosterone and causes dehydration from increased potassium secretion and increased absorption of sodium. Instead of a Yasmin class action lawsuit, federal Yasmin lawsuits have been consolidated in multidistrict litigation (MDL).

  • CleanWell All-Natural Foaming Hand Sanitizer, CleanWell All-Natural Hand Sanitizer, CleanWell All-Natural Hand Sanitizing Wipes, and CleanWell All-Natural Antibacterial Foaming Handsoap.
