Do you think you should be able to sue a drug manufacturer for a complication related to the medication if the possible side effect is already known and printed as a warning?

I see ads on tv by legal firms all of the time for people harmed by medications. The most recent one I saw was for Yaz, the birth control pill, and the symptoms they sight all sound like known side effects of the pill and other hormone treatments. Do you think if it is known risks, the responsibility is actually on the patient? Maybe if there are many more incidences than typical with that type of medication then the drug companies should pay? But then there should be a recall.
