    Trouble for Bayer as Lawsuits Draw Near

    The suspension of Trasylol, a drug used in heart surgeries sales that has been proven to be fatal, has caused for much talk. Trasylol lawsuits from the families of those affected by the drug’s side-effects will be filed soon, and a Trasylol class-action lawsuit can not be far off. With fatalities over 22,000, Bayer is going to be struggling to find a way out. The drug was speculated to have problems back in 2006, yet it was still approved by the FDA. The reason for this is that Bayer failed to present their research about the relation of kidney failure & Trasylol to the FDA in their September 2006 meeting. The chairman of that FDA advisory panel, Dr. William Hiatt, said that he would have voted for a Trasylol recall back in 2006 if Bayer had not withheld the data from their study

                The high cost of Trasylol has also posed questions due to the fact that it was a lot more expensive at $1,250, than of competitors at $150. This makes us wonder if Bayer was not only producing a defection medication, but also gouging prices from those who were administered Trasylol. What we do know is that Bayer is going to need more than a drug to cure there worries

I have been approached by another law firm about Trasylol used in my heart surgery Dec 2006...within 2 days, my kidneys failed. I have not been able to get the attorneys or their office contacts to keep me up to date. They change employees often, it would appear, because every time I track someone down in their office, a new person is "handling" my "account" ....do you take on new clients such as myself if I have already been approached by another attorney firm? I want some snswers as to the progress of the case and what I need to do to follow up. I lost my teaching job, I am now on disability and of course am constantly worried about kidney failure again.
