The CEO of Bayer announced that they face 78 Trasylol lawsuits in the United States. He was speaking to shareholders at the time, discussing the financial situation of the company.

"We are not aware of any lawsuit outside the United States," Werner Wenning told a shareholders' meeting.

Bayer in November temporarily suspended global marketing of Trasylol after preliminary results from a Canadian study linked its use to a higher risk of kidney damage and death.

The anti-bleeding drug Trasylol has been used in thousands of open heart surgeries around the world before being pulled from the market. Surgeons still have access to the drug if their hospital has any in stock. They have been urged to use utmost caution in deciding when the benefits outweigh the risks to their patients.
