According to Reuters, Laurie Simpson charged Bayer with breaking the federal False Claims Act of the United States. The "Lincoln Act" permits people to sue businesses on behalf of the government.
Ms. Simpson claims that Bayer paid medical professionals in order to promote the medications Avelox and Trasylol in the US. She also accused the corporation of peddling medications that may be misused. The prosecution claimed that Bayer's actions led to fraud in the government's Medicare and Medicaid programs.
Despite the fact that Bayer representatives have denied their organization's involvement in the scam, the maker has agreed to pay $40 million to put an end to the "already long case."
