Our Firm is representing numerous plaintiffs in Risperdal lawsuits that put forth similar allegations regarding the methods use to market the medication.
New York, New York (PRWEB) March 03, 2015
Risperdal lawsuits (http://www.risperdallawsuit2014.com/) that question tactics used to market the atypical antipsychotic medication continue to move forward in courts around the U.S. According to court documents, the South Carolina Supreme Court upheld a state court jury’s 2011 finding that Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen Pharmaceuticals unit had deceptively marketed the medication and concealed its serious risks. However, while the Court’s February 25th decision characterized the company’s conduct as an “egregious violation of South Carolina law,” it did reduce the jury’s original $327 million judgment, and ordered Janssen to pay $136 million penalty. (State of South Carolina v. Ortho-McNeil-Janssen Pharmaceuticals Inc, No. 2012-206987)
“In reducing the jury’s original judgment, the Court cited a three-year limit for bringing certain claims under South Carolina’s Unfair Trade Practices Act. Our Firm is representing numerous plaintiffs in Risperdal lawsuits that put forth similar allegations regarding the methods use to market the medication, and we are pleased that the jury’s finding regarding the drug maker’s conduct in this case was upheld,” says Bernstein Liebhard LLP, a nationwide law firm representing the victims of defective drugs and medical devices. The Firm continues to provide legal consultations to men and boys who allegedly experienced gynecomastia, or male breast growth, due to their use of Risperdal.
Risperdal Litigation
Court records indicate that the South Carolina Supreme Court rendered its decision just one day after a Pennsylvania jury ordered Johnson & Johnson and Janssen to pay $2.5 million in compensatory damages to an autistic man who developed gynecomastia due to his use of the medication as a child. (Case No. A-196444) The case was the first bellwether trial to involve Risperdal and male breast growth in mass tort litigation, where Bernstein Liebhard LLP is actively filing claims. All of the Risperdal lawsuits pending in Pennsylvania were brought on behalf of individuals who where allegedly harmed by the drug, and like the South Carolina case, accuse the manufacturers of Risperdal of improperly marketing the medication and concealing its association with serious complications.
