>>The lawsuit, filed in Manhattan Supreme Court, alleges that Pfizer "knew or should have known ... that Viagra is an unreasonably dangerous product ... and that a significant portion of the users were older men ... who were subject to a significant risk of serious side effects including ... heart attack and death."

There have been about 30 reported deaths of men who took Viagra, although the makers and the medical experts -- including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration -- say there is no proof the drug caused the deaths. They warn against taking Viagra with certain heart drugs and note that sex is a strenuous activity that can trigger a heart attack in some men.

"Viagra was extensively studied by Pfizer and subjected to a rigorous review process by the (FDA)," the company's statement said. "Viagra is a safe and effective medicine for erectile dysfunction when used as recommended in the approved package insert."

Padro, who lives in the New York borough of Queens, accused Pfizer of aggressively marketing and selling Viagra and "placing profit concerns over and above the safety of the public."
