Randone Trasylol Lawsuit Profiled on CBS' '60 Minutes'
Date:2/19/2008

NEW YORK, Feb. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- On November 5, 2007, under increasing government pressure, Bayer Pharmaceuticals Corporation said that it had halted worldwide sales of its drug Trasylol after a Canadian clinical study found the drug could be linked to a higher risk of death than other drugs.

The Randone case (Josephine Randone, Executrix Of The Estate Of Joseph Randone, And Josephine Randone, Individually, v. Bayer Corporation, et al.) was filed by Napoli Bern & Associates, LLP, and arises from horrific post- surgical complications suffered by Joseph Randone, a 52-year-old man who suffered kidney failure leading to a chain reaction resulting in his death following routine valve replacement surgery where Trasylol was utilized. Attorney Marc Jay Bern says, "the importance of the Trasylol
