Birth Control Recall Leads To Legal Action
Thunder Bay Lawyer Chris Watkins is going up against pharmaceutical giant Apotex. He is serving notice of a 800 million dollar class action lawsuit against the company who just issued a recall of the birth control pill Alysena. Watkins is representing a local woman in the legal action, but says the suit is on behalf of all women who took the pill and could now be facing an unwanted pregnancy or be fearing an unwanted pregnancy. None of the claims have been proven in court. There has been no response from the company to our request for a comment.
