Lawsuits seek damages from Bayer over anti-bleeding drug

-Miami Herald

04/23/2008 - Eight lawsuits filed in a Florida federal court are seeking damages from Bayer AG over a controversial anti-bleeding drug.

The lawsuits involving the drug Trasylol were filed in federal court in West Palm Beach by a firm that represents the families of people who died after they were given the drug following heart surgery.

Trasylol was on the market for 14 years until 2007, when Bayer stopped selling it. Several studies have documented the drug's dangers, but Bayer has challenged some of those findings.

The lawsuits seek unspecified damages. They claim Bayer sold a defective drug and failed to issue warnings about its risks. Bayer officials did not immediately respond to an e-mail Tuesday seeking comment.

Ennis & Ennis, P.A. is representing individuals that have been harmed as a result of Trasylol side effects. If you or a loved one have suffered as a result of Trasylol side effects such as kidney failure, heart attack, or stroke you may be entitled to compensation.
