Today the California Supreme Court has announced that they will reinstate claims against the cholesterol drug marketed under the name Baycol on behalf of California consumers who purchased the drug. Baycol was marketed and sold by Bayer Corporation from 1997 until 2001, when the drug was taken off the market. Data shows that the drug may be linked to serious muscle debilitating illnesses like Rhabdomyolysis, possibly leading to death. If you have taken Baycol and are concerned that you may have suffered injury, it is important that you contact a Philadelphia injury lawyer as soon as possible. According to reports "the claims addressed by the California Supreme Court were asserted on behalf of California consumers who purchased or paid for the drug Baycol between February 1998 and August 2001. In earlier proceedings, the trial court dismissed all of the claims asserted against Bayer."

Today, the California Supreme Court reversed the Court of Appeal decision and held that the Notice of Appeal of the claims of the class was indeed timely and should go forward. If you feel that you or a loved one has suffered wrongful injury due to use of Baycol or another prescription drug, contact a Philadelphia injury lawyer today.
