Bayer agrees to pay $40 million to settle whistleblower claims

 On Friday, the Justice Department announced that Bayer Corporation agreed to pay $40 million to settle allegations that it violated the False Claims Act by providing kickbacks and false statements related to three drugs.

 

Laurie Simpson, a former marketing department employee of Bayer, filed two whistleblower lawsuits against the company in 2005 and 2006, Reuters reported.

 

Simpson accused the manufacturer of paying kickbacks to physicians and hospitals for using two of the company’s drugs, Avelox and Trasylol. Avelox is an antibiotic used to treat certain bacteria. Trasylol was used to reduce bleeding during heart surgeries.
