SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--On February 28, 2011, the California Supreme Court reinstated claims on behalf of California consumers who purchased the cholesterol drug marketed under the name Baycol. The drug was marketed by Bayer Corporation from 1997 until 2001, when it withdrew Baycol from the market after data showing that the drug may be linked to serious muscle debilitating illnesses like Rhabdomyolysis, possibly leading to death. Any California resident who purchased Baycol should contact Green Welling P.C. to discuss their rights in the matter.
