Lawsuit Claims Birth Control Packaging Error Led to More Than 100 Unwanted Pregnancies

In 2011, Qualitest Pharmaceuticals recalled 1.4 million packages of birth control pills due to a packaging error that reversed the weekly tablet order. Instead of appearing at the bottom of the package, the placebo pills, which are meant to be taken the week of menstruation, were flipped 180 degrees. To be effective, birth control pills must be taken in the proper order.
Now, more than 100 women are suing Qualitest, claiming that the incorrect packaging resulted in unwanted pregnancies. All but four of the 113 women involved became pregnant, and more than 90 gave birth, the Associated Press reports.

The suit seeks millions in damages, including recovery for medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages and, in some cases, child-rearing expenses up to the age of 18.
The lawsuit was filed this week in Pennsylvania, where Qualitest's parent company Endo Pharmaceuticals is headquartered, directly after a federal judge in Georgia denied class-action certification to a similar suit filed in the state. Vintage Pharmaceuticals and Patheon were also named in the suit.
In a statement to ABC News, Endo Pharmaceuticals said that it had only been able to confirm one defected birth control pack that was sold to a patient.
Endo's statement, in full:

Our commitment is to patient safety and we take product quality very seriously. ... There is no new or recent product recall. The recall that forms the basis of this suit was entirely voluntary and occurred more than four years ago in September 2011. The voluntary recall occurred based on an extremely small number of pill packs that were manufactured by an external contract manufacturer. Endo has been able to confirm only one blister pack that manifested a defect and was sold to a patient. Additionally, courts have dismissed cases arising out of the recall because the plaintiff could not establish that she purchased a defective package.

The FDA's 2011 recall included the following oral contraceptives: Cyclafem 7/7/7, Cyclafem 1/35, Emoquette, Gildess FE 1.5/30, Gildess FE 1/20,  Orsythia, Previfem and Tri-Previfem.

Britain can – and must – open its arms to refugee children

According to Save the Children, there are currently around 5,000 unaccompanied children languishing in European refugee camps. Many of them are from Syria, but they’re also from Iraq, Libya, Eretria and other war-torn parts of the world. For the most part, they’ve become separated from their parents in the course of making the journeys from home – in all likelihood, the majority are now orphans.

Two months ago, I started a petition on Change.org, urging David Cameron to allow 1,500 of these children to be fostered by British families. It was the example of Sir Nicholas Winton that made me think we could do more – the British Schindler who helped save 669 Jewish children from the Nazis in 1939. I was also thinking of the Kindertransport, something I’d been reminded of when reading the first volume of Charles Moore’s Margaret Thatcher biography. Her family took in a Jewish refugee during the Second World War and the young Margaret Roberts heard first hand some of the horror stories of Nazi persecution – one of the reasons she was a lifelong friend to the Jews.

Don’t misunderstand me. I understand the Prime Minister’s reluctance to take in more refugees. I’ve yet to hear a convincing reply to the argument that granting more people asylum will open the floodgates, just as it has in Germany, where more than 300,000 refugees have applied for asylum in the past year, compared to around 25,000 in the UK in the same time period. The reason 1,000 migrants are crossing from Serbia into Hungary every day is because that's the way to Germany.

But I think the moral case for allowing 1,500 unaccompanied refugee children to settle here is overwhelming. That’s Save the Children’s number, by the way, not mine, but it strikes me as a realistic figure. They’re already in Europe and, provided the government makes it clear that that is the maximum, it won’t necessarily encourage others to make the journey across the Mediterranean. In any case, few parents in Africa and the Middle East will dispatch their children on such a perilous journey unaccompanied in the hope that they’ll end up in a British foster home.

Hardly anyone is safe in Europe’s refugee camps, but unaccompanied children are the most vulnerable. They are prey to the worst kind of human predators and many face horrific fates if they’re not rescued. Indeed, for some it’s already too late – they have been taken by trafficking gangs and disappeared into the criminal underground. When I think of my own children – aged seven, eight, 10 and 12 – having to fend for themselves in a place like the Jungle, I shudder in horror.
Some people reading this will think it’s unrealistic to imagine our foster care system could absorb an additional 1,500 children. Already, there’s a glut of children being looked after by local authorities with no homes to go to. But I'm sure that if the government was to ask for volunteers – particularly in the wake of the horrific pictures on the front pages of today’s newspapers – more than 1,500 families would come forward.

1,100 cyclone-shelters ready in Cox’s Bazar

Some 1,100 cyclone-shelter centres have been kept ready in the coastal district of Cox’s Bazar as the cyclonic storm “Mahasen” continues to move towards the country’s coastal belt.

This was revealed at a meeting of the District Disaster Management Committee held at the Deputy Commissioner’s office on Monday afternoon.

Leave of government employees in the district has also been cancelled so that the officials could take part in emergency rescue mission in the event of cyclone causing any havoc.

District Primary Education Officer Liton Barua told the meeting that the district’s 537 cyclone-shelter centres and 534 more new cyclone shelters- cum-schools were kept ready. The centres will be opened immediately in case of any emergency.

Red Crescent Society official Sirajul Mostafa said that a three-phase preparation – before, during and after the disaster – was taken to tackle the potential disaster that is likely to lash the coastal areas on Tuesday.

The volunteers were ready to provide help, he said.

Deputy Commissioner Md. Ruhul Amin after Sunday’s meeting said as many as 113 emergency medical teams were kept ready while a district control room was opened.

The people of the district’s coastal areas were alerted about the disaster through loudspeakers to ensure that they can make the necessary preparations to shift to safe shelters before the cyclone hits.

The Monday’s meeting also took stock of the availability of food and other essential items in the district. There are adequate stock, the meeting observed.

Cyclone 'Mahasen' to hit Bangla coast

The depression in the Bay of Bengal has turned into a cyclone that is likely to hit Bangladesh’s southern coast by Tuesday.

Cautionary signal “3” has been sounded for all ports by the Met department and fishermen have been asked to stay away from the sea.
Met’s weather expert Hafizur Rehman told bdnews24.com on Saturday that cyclone has been christened “Mahasen”.
All cyclones are named from a list drawn up and periodically updated.
‘Mahasen’ is a Sri Lankan expression.
Hafizur Rehman said the depression in south-east Bay of Bengal has moved northwest as it intensified into cyclone ’Mahasen’.
He said it is expected to move further north and northwest.
Met department says the depression, at 6pm Saturday, was centred about 1600 kms South-Southwest of Chittagong Port, 1510 kms South-Southwest of Cox’s Bazar Port and 1590 kms South-Southeast of Mongla Port.
The wind speeds have gone up from 62 to 88 kms per hour.
Fishing trawlers and boats have been asked to stay close to the coast and avoid deep sea.
Cautionary danger signal “3” has been sounded at Chittagong, Cox’s Bazar and Mongla as the sea was getting turbulent.
The US military had already warned of a 'severe cyclonic storm' likely to hit coastal regions of Myanmar's Rakhine state and adjoining areas of Bangladesh.
A “severe cyclonic storm” is expected to make landfall on Tuesday night, the US Navy and Air Force’s Joint Typhoon Warning Centre forecasts.
Based on the forecast, an alert has been put out by the Tropical Storm Risk, a UK-based storm forecaster.
The wind force could reach 166 km/per hour for a while during the cyclone, while wind gusts may be even stronger, the alert said.

 

Angelina Jolie has double mastectomy due to cancer fears

Oscar-winning actress Angelina Jolie said on Tuesday that she had undergone a preventive double mastectomy after finding out she had a gene mutation that leads to a sharply higher risk of both breast and ovarian cancer.

Jolie, writing in the New York Times, said her mother's death from cancer at 56 and the discovery that she carried the BRCA1 gene mutation led to her decision out of fears she might not be around for her six children.

"We often speak of 'Mommy's mommy', and I find myself trying to explain the illness that took her away from us. They have asked if the same could happen to me," wrote Jolie, 37, in the editorial "My Medical Choice".

"I have always told them not to worry, but the truth is I carry a 'faulty' gene," she added.

Her doctor estimated that she had an 87 percent risk of breast cancer and a 50 percent risk of ovarian cancer.

"Once I knew this was my reality, I decided to be proactive and to minimize the risk as much as I could. I made a decision to have a preventive double mastectomy," she said.

Three months of surgical procedures were completed at the end of April, throughout which Jolie continued to work. She said her partner, Brad Pitt, was by her side throughout, and thanked him for his love and support.

She said she was revealing her decision to help dispel the shadows that still hang over cancer and to enable other women to get testing and make informed treatment choices, as she had.

"The decision to have a mastectomy was not easy. But it is one I am very happy to have made," she said, adding that her chances of developing breast cancer had dropped from 87 percent to 5 percent.

Spokesmen for Jolie and Pitt, one of Hollywood's biggest power couples, were not immediately available for comment.

Jolie, who won a best support actress Oscar for her work on "Girl, Interrupted" in 1999, is raising six children with Pitt. The couple got engaged last year.

Bomb goes off at Shahbagh

A homemade bomb exploded at the capital’s Shahbagh intersection during Jamaat-e-Islami's Tuesday strike, while another live one was found there.

from dhaka news, correspondent Fahim Ahsan reported from Shahbagh that the bomb was lobbed around 11:30am minutes before the Ganajagaran Mancha activists were to take out an anti-strike procession.

Rickshaw puller Md Bashir, a witness, told bdnews24.com a youth clad in a Panjabi hurled two crude bombs and jumped on a bus to flee.

The unexploded bomb, wrapped in black adhesive tape, was seen to be lying on the street after the first one went off.

Later police took it away.

The Jamaat is trying to enforce a countrywide shutdown to protest the arrest of its leader AKM Yusuf.

He was arrested on Sunday on charges of crimes committed against humanity during the 1971 Liberation War.

The prosecution at the International Crimes Tribunal-1 has accused him of involvement in crimes against humanity during the war on 15 counts including mass murder, rape, arson and loot. 

 

What kind of issue in bangladesh is arising? no matter how much you can do

The oath

Imran H Sarker, convener of the Bloggers and Online Activists Network, in his speech yesterday afternoon conducted the following oath at Shahbagh:
"We swear an oath that the leadership of mass people from the Gonojagaran Mancha will continue the movement from Teknaf to Tetulia until capital punishment is handed down on those Razakar and Al-Badr members who committed crimes against humanity like mass killing and rape in 1971.
"We take the oath that we will remain vocal both on the streets and online until politics of war criminal Jamaat-Shibir is not banned and nationality of their members not cancelled.
"We further take the oath that we will continue demonstration demanding trial under a special tribunal of those Razakars and Al-Badr activists who were convicted and under trial but freed after 1975.
"We swear that we will boycott the war criminals' business entities -- Islami Bank, Ibn Sina, Focus, Retina and different other coaching centres. We know through these they collect money to continue with anti-liberation activities.
"We will also boycott the academic and cultural organisations through which they are spreading anti-liberation sentiments among the children. In brief, we will work for banning all the business, social and cultural organisations belonging to Razakars and Al-Badr activists.
"We swear that we will continue with our demand of stringent punishment to Jamaat and Shibir, who have committed crimes of sedation by threatening with a civil war, after making their immediate arrest by recognising them through video footages and newspaper pictures.
"We swear that we will boycott war criminals' mass media like Diganta TV, daily Naya Diganta, daily Amardesh, daily Sangram, Sonar Bangla Blog, etc.
“We will not subscribe to newspapers of war criminals at any office or house. At the same time, we will request the pro-liberation mass media to boycott war criminals and their accomplices."

Demand for victims' right to appeal

The capital's Shahbagh took a different look yesterday. The surrounding buildings, billboards, lampposts, trees on central reservations and even the tarmac became the means of expressing people's demands.
“Rights to appeal. Why victim's rights to be denied?” a group of youths wrote on the street in white paint and flowers. The simple two sentences were enough to share their agony with the mass.
Banners, placards, graffiti and paintings demonstrated other popular demands that were also chanted by tens of thousands of protesters at the square for the last four days.

Their grievances were against the International Crimes (Tribunals) Act, 1973, which kept very little right for the victims to appeal against a verdict of the tribunal as well as against the government. It was not amended to ensure this right for the war crime victims of 1971.
As per section 21 (1) of the act, “A person convicted of any crime specified in section 3 and sentenced by a tribunal shall have the right of appeal to the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of Bangladesh against such conviction and sentence.”

But section 21 (2) of the act says, “The government [which represents the victims in the war crimes trial] shall have the right of appeal to the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of Bangladesh against an order of acquittal.”
Hasib Nomanee, an independent filmmaker and a member of the group, said, “It's unfair and injustice.”
The victim should have equal rights to appeal against any verdict of the tribunal, said Nomanee and demanded that the government amends the act to give equal rights by incorporating the words “or inadequacy of sentence” in section 21 (2) in the ongoing session.
"We were the victims in 1971 as our fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters were killed. Now we are again becoming the victim… of inadequate laws," he said.
A festoon hanging from a tree on the central reservation was demanding the legal rights to try Jamaat-e-Islami at the tribunal as a party as the party as whole was involved in crimes against humanity and genocide.

“Trial of Jamaat to be held as a war criminal organisation -- Jamaat is Nazi of Bangla,” a poster read.
Currently, there is no provision under the International Crimes (Tribunals) Act, 1973, to try any organisation or party at the tribunal.
The tribunal in its recently delivered verdict against Jamaat leader Abdul Quader Mollah said, "The act of 1973 remains silent as regards responsibility of any 'organisation' for the atrocities committed in the territory of Bangladesh in 1971 war of liberation.”
Hafiz Asad Ankon, a freelance photographer, said Jamaat must be tried as a war criminal organisation for committing crimes during the Liberation War.

“The government should amend the law, if necessary, to bring Jamaat under trail as a party,” he added.
According to documents, at the historic Nuremberg Tribunal in Germany, which was formed for trying Nazi war criminals of World War II, trials of seven Nazi organisations were held alongside 21 individuals.
A festoon at the rally demanded ban on Jamaat-e-Islami after trying the party at the tribunal.
A six-year-old girl had a placard hung from her neck which read, “I don't want to grow up in a society with Razakars.”
A group of youths were carrying a coffin and chanting, “The coffin is ready… [we] want the body. Hang the Razakars.”
Vice-Chancellor Prof Anwar Hossain of Jahangirnagar University at the rally said the parliament needs to pass a law that ensures the right of the victims of atrocities committed in 1971 to appeal. He said it seemed to him that the suspects were enjoying the right which the victims did not have.
A festoon at the rally read, “We don't want tax-payers' money spent on keeping razakars in jail.”

Youths rekindle spirit of '71

Tens of thousands of people raise voice against religion-based politics, demand capital punishment to war criminals, vow to boycott Jamaat-Shibir 

Shahbagh intersection made history yesterday where the nation witnessed its recent memory's biggest crowd that gathered to demand capital punishment to all the war criminals, including Quader Mollah.
There were men and women, boys and girls, young and old -- tens of thousands of them -- from all walks of life who turned the few square kilometres area into a human sea.
Since early morning, people started flocking the intersection first in their hundreds then in thousands, carrying national flags, banners and placards for the 3:00pm mass rally. By then, the crowd stretched as far as the eye can see.
From Matsya Bhaban in the south to Kataban intersection in the north and from Hotel Ruposhi Bangla intersection in the east to TSC in the west, the crowd spilled everywhere. The participation of young generation was overwhelming.
Through various slogans, they made their demand for death sentence to all the war criminals loud and clear registered their determination to resist Jamaat-e-Islami and Islami Chhatra Shibir.
It was the fourth day of the non-stop protest, which began just hours after a war crimes tribunal on Tuesday sentenced Jamaat leader Quader Mollah to life term in prison for his crimes against humanity during the country's 1971 Liberation War.
The movement was launched by Bloggers and Online Activist Network, but it soon transformed into a mass movement.
Demonstrators have been saying a life term for Mollah was too lenient; they demand death sentence for him.
Protestors have kept the interaction under their occupation since Tuesday afternoon, with several hundreds of them staying overnights without sleep.
From yesterday's rally, people took an oath to continue the movement until their demand is met. In addition to capital punishment to all the war criminals, the demonstrators called for banning Jamaat and its student wing Shibir.
They also pledged to boycott all businesses, banks, media outlets and social and cultural organisations owned by Jamaat leaders.
“We pledge to keep on demanding trial under a special tribunal of those Razakars and Al-Badrs who were convicted and were under trial but freed after 1975," said Imran H Sarkar, administering the oath from a makeshift stage erected atop a truck at the intersection.
Imran, convenor of Bloggers and Online Activist Network, is one of the initiators of the movement.
"We pledge that we will continue our movement from Teknaf to Tetulia under the leadership of general people until highest punishment is given to Razakars-Al-Badrs who committed crimes against humanity like genocide and rape in 1971," protestors read after Imran.
The mass rally began with the recitation of a poem and rendering of the National Anthem.
"This is another 1971," said Mili Rahman, widow of Birshrestha Matiur Rahman.
"Today we are united in our single demand. We freed the country in 1971 and today you will free it once again from Razakars and Jamaat-Shibir…. None can hold us back," she said.
Noted writer Prof Muhammad Zafar Iqbal said, "I am here to offer my apology to you. I wrote in newspapers that the new generation only hits 'like' on Facebook and writes on blogs, but does not take to the streets. You have proved me wrong, and I thank you all for this."
"The year 2013 has turned into 1971 and those of you who did not see 1971 are now witnessing '71 in the year of 2013," he added.
"Study when it's time to study, write poems when it's time to write poems, listen to music when it's time to listen to music … and take to the streets when you need to. It is the happiest day of my life. All the martyrs and the country people are thankful to you," he said.
Journalist Kamal Lohani said the entire country heard the roars of the mass people. "The only punishment to the war criminals, not only Quader but to all, is capital punishment. Besides, their politics will also have to be banned."
