New York state filed civil charges on Thursday accusing Johnson & Johnson of insurance fraud for downplaying the risks of opioid painkillers, including to doctors and elderly patients.
J&J and its Janssen Pharmaceuticals affiliate were accused of targeting elderly patients for opioid treatment despite the risks of side effects such as falls, fractures and neuropsychiatric symptoms.
“Misrepresentation of opioids to consumers for profit is inexcusable,” Governor Andrew Cuomo said in a statement. The charges by New York’s Department of Financial Services are the fourth in its opioid industry probe, following charges against Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd and Allergan Plc, Endo International Plc and Mallinckrodt Plc.
It is separately appealing a $465 million judgment in Oklahoma from last November over its opioid marketing there.
