What has been done so far with regard to Baycol litigation?
Proceedings against the Bayer Pharmaceutical Division began in earnest in March 2002, when four people filed lawsuits against the company having allegedly suffered serious injury as a result of their usage of Baycol. The lawsuits, filed in Portland, Oregon, amounted to a total of $15 million. The basis for these claims were that the Bayer Pharmaceutical Division had failed to correctly raise awareness about the possible effects of Baycol, and had not warned either the government or the FDA to a sufficient extent.
