The Gazette (Colorado Springs), “Suit: Birth control to blame for brain clot”

Not long after Amanda Bianchi began using a birth-control patch, she started getting incapacitating headaches, numbness in her hands and ringing in her ears. An MRI revealed a 6- to 8-inch blood clot in her brain. In July, the Colorado Springs woman and nine others from across the nation filed suit against the maker of Ortho Evra, claiming they suffered "substantial physical injuries" from using the contraceptive patch.
The suit claims the patch is "unreasonably dangerous," that risk disclosures on the product label are inadequate and that the chances of suffering a blood clot are much higher with the patch than with birth-control pills.
