The mother of a teenager whose death was attributed to the birth control pills Yaz and Yasmin wants to see the product pulled from the shelves by Health Canada and the manufacturer, Bayer.
Health Canada documents link the deaths of at least 23 Canadian women to the pills.
Most of the women died suddenly after developing blood clots.
Miranda Scott, 18, collapsed and died three years ago.
She had gone to the doctor with various complaints including shortness of breath and was told she may have a strained muscle in her back.
An autospy later showed she had a series of blood clots in her lungs.
Her mom, Chip McClaughry, says these birth control pills need to be pulled: "I had hoped by now that somebody in the government or some bureaucracy would have actually got rid of them off the market."
In the last six years, 600 women also reported adverse reactions taking the contraceptives.
