Risperdal Suits Heading To Trial
Two new trials against Janssen Pharmaceuticals over its anti-psychotic drug Risperdal are set for hearing this month. The cases, which are being tried on the plaintiff side by Thomas R. Kline of Kline and Specter and by Christopher A. Gomez and Stephen A. Sheller of Sheller P.C., claim that the company failed to warn the plaintiffs of the risk of developing gynecomastia, a condition in which males develop enlarged breasts. One previous case was settled pre-trial and another was decided in favor of the plaintiff, while in a third, the jury found Janssen negligent for failing to warn of the potential for abnormal breast development, yet also found that the plaintiff's particular breast development was not caused by Risperdal.
