Baycol was recalled in the United States in August of 2001, resulting in multiple "Baycol lawsuits" against the manufacturer (Bayer, Inc.) and their co-distributors. The majority of Baycol lawsuits make no claims against health care providers, holding liable only the manufacturer and distributors. The Baycol lawsuits address negligence on the part of Bayer, claiming that the company knew the drug''s dangers. Baycol lawsuits are designed to prove Bayer knew the health risks of Baycol prior to the recall.

Baycol lawsuits have been filed around the world, seeking reparations for damages caused Baycol. Allegations made by Baycol lawsuits include claims that Bayer neglected long-term testing, ignored reports of deaths, and misrepresented Baycol''s safety. Baycol lawsuits, totaling in the hundreds of millions, are designed to ensure responsibility and recover losses. Many Baycol lawsuits link Baycol to 42% of deaths in statin drugs, with only 2% of the market. Baycol lawsuits often mention the deadly side effects of kidney failure and rhabdomyolysis. According to the Baycol lawsuits, Bayer failed to provide adequate warnings about these side effects to doctors and the FDA. Baycol lawsuits also allege that Bayer under priced its product to win the market from safer medications. These Baycol lawsuits represent an opportunity to hold Bayer responsible for harming hundreds of people for profit.
