Johnson & Johnson has to pay $8 billion

Johnson & Johnson has to pay $8 billion after male breast growth linked to antipsychotic drug, jury says
Johnson & Johnson will have to pay $8 billion in punitive damages after a man claims the company didn't warn young men that the drug Risperdal could grow breasts, a jury said Tuesday, according to Reuters.
Nicholas Murray, 26, previously won $680,000 in the case over the antipsychotic drug Risperdal in the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas.
Murray says he developed breasts after he began taking Risperdal in 2003 when a psychologist diagnosed him with autism spectrum disorder, according to Reuters.
Murray's lawyers, Tom Kline and Jason Itkin said in a statement the "jury told Johnson & Johnson that its actions were deliberate and malicious."
"The conduct that the jury saw in the courtroom, was clear and convincing that J&J disregarded the safety of the most vulnerable of children. This is an important moment, not only for this litigation, but for J&J, which is a company that has lost its way."
In a statement to CNN, Johnson & Johnson called the award "grossly disproportionate with the initial compensatory award in this case, and the Company is confident it will be overturned."
The company added, "the jury did not hear evidence as to how the label for RISPERDAL:registered: clearly and appropriately outlined the risks associated with the medicine, or the benefits RISPERDAL:registered: provides to patients with serious mental illness."
The case is the first of thousands in Pennsylvania where a jury could award punitive damages, Reuters reported.
Previously, a Pennsylvania judge ruled New Jersey law, which prohibits punitive damages and is Johnson & Johnson's home state, should be applied to all cases.
In 2018, a Pennsylvania Superior Court ruled punitive damages were permitted, noting the state where each plaintiff lives should be the determining factor, according to Reuters.
