    According to the interview they understood the problem, which is why they stopped selling the product to Americans.

    Actually, the real news about Bayer:

    http://www.reuters.com/article/newsOne/idUSN1450916820080215

    "The lives of 22,000 patients could have been saved if U.S. regulators had been quicker to remove a Bayer AG drug used to stem bleeding during open heart surgery, according to a medical researcher interviewed by CBS Television's 60 Minutes program.

    The drug Trasylol was withdrawn in November at the request of the FDA after an observational study linked the medicine to kidney failure requiring dialysis and increased death of those patients.

    It had been given to as many as a third of all heart bypass patients in the United States at the height of its use over a period of many years, according to the report."
