Bayer Loses First Lawsuit To Stroke Victim Over PPA

One of the world's largest drug companies, Bayer AG, finally felt the

sting of its actions Wednesday when an El Paso, Texas, court awarded

$400,000 to a consumer who claimed an ingredient in Bayer's

Alka-Seltzer Plus cold medicine -- phenylpropanolamine (PPA) -- caused

his stroke.

 

For Bayer, the trouble is just beginning. The Wednesday verdict is

just the first verdict among more than 1,000 that have been filed!

Bayer isn't entirely to blame for this problem, however. FDA asked

companies using PPA in their cold products to VOLUNTARILY take the

products off the market about four years ago due to possible health risks.

Bayer's stock price certainly reflected the announcement, along with

a second shot of bad news Wednesday from the Justice Department that

fined the company almost $5 million for price-fixing.
