Johnson & Johnson was hit with an $8 billion verdict yesterday in a case concerning the antipsychotic drug Risperdal. The company is facing thousands of Risperdal lawsuits in addition to high-profile talc and opioids cases.
Johnson & Johnson must pay $8 billion in punitive damages to a man who previously won $680,000 over his claims that it failed to warn that young men using its antipsychotic drug Risperdal could grow breasts.
The Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas jury's verdict in favor of Nicholas Murray came in the first case in which a Pennsylvania jury had been able to consider awarding punitive damages in one of thousands of Risperdal cases pending in the state.The extremely large punitive damages award is likely to be reduced on the grounds that it violates due process.
Plaintiffs claim that J&J failed to warn of the risk of gynecomastia, the development of enlarged breasts in males, associated with Risperdal, which they say the company marketed for unapproved uses with children.
