"I read some time ago that a class action suit was settled long ago for many millions(close to a billion dollars)"
"Bayer is on the hit list apparently and is being (asbestossed!)"
The German Bayer Company has been in deep dodo for a few years now.
If I recall it was 3-4 years ago when they came out with a new cholesteral lowering drug called BAYCOL. There was some problem with it and it killed about 50-100 people. I had a couple of friends whose doctors for no reason switched them from the cholesteral medication they were on to the BAYCOL.
After a few weeks their muscles hurt so bad and it was getting where they weren't able to do anything. They thought back and realized this started happening about the time the doctor switched their medicine and then something came out in the paper about Baycol. They immediately stopped taking it or they could have ended up one of the dead.
The class action suit you are refering to may be from the BAYCOL class action suit.
This blood thing is something differant.
