Background
The recall of Yaz Plus contraceptive pills stems from a packaging error affecting certain batches released between 09 November 2023 and 31 January 2025. The error resulted in:
- Defective packs with 24 hormone-free placebo tablets and only 4 hormone tablets instead of the correct dosage.
- A significant reduction in the contraceptive’s effectiveness.
This packaging error may likely cause undue stress, financial burdens, and unintended pregnancies for many individuals.
Under the Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008 (CPA), manufacturers, distributors, and retailers can be held liable for defective products, even if they were unaware of the defect. Alternatively, a claim may also be brought in delict for negligence. You may be entitled to compensation.
