Important Notice To All Bjork-Shiley Convexo-Concave Heart Valve Implantees

June 29, 2006

    CINCINNATI, June 29 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Because of a
risk of strut fracture that could result in death or serious
injury, all Bjork-Shiley Convexo-Concave Heart Valves (BSCC)
were removed from the market by the manufacturer.
Approximately 86,000 of these heart valves were implanted
in patients worldwide. Under a class action settlement
agreement in the Bowling, et al. v. Pfizer Inc., et al.
heart valve litigation, financial benefits are still
available to certain patients implanted with the BSCC heart
valve.

    A Supervisory Panel of experts funded by the Bowling
Settlement has determined that risk of fracture depends on
the patient's age, gender, valve size, valve implant
position, and certain valve manufacturing characteristics. 
It is important for people with BSCC heart valves to contact
a cardiologist to discuss whether they are at an increased
risk of fracture or possibly a candidate for a valve
replacement. 

    If you have a Bjork-Shiley Convexo-Concave Heart Valve,
you are urged to register your name and address with the
court-appointed Bowling Settlement Claims Administrator.

    Only if you register will the Claims Administrator be
able to contact you with information about your class
action settlement benefits.

    There is no cost or obligation incurred by
registering.

    To register, contact:
