SARASOTA, Fla., July 28, 2016 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — The Sarasota Florida attorney commented after a Philadelphia jury returned a verdict of $70 million against Johnson & Johnson for failing to warn of the risks associated for taking Risperdal. The case involved a sixteen-year-old boy who developed breast from the medication prescribed for attention deficit disorder (ADHD). The jury learned that Johnson & Johnson knew the risks associated with the drug, but did not disclose them.<\/p>\n

\"Attorney
\nThe verdict was on the heels of a payment of $2.2 billion fine to end a criminal investigation for promoting the drug for treatment for dementia and ADHD which the drug had not received approval for.<\/p>\n

David Shapiro, a board certified civil trial lawyer commented, \u201cYou would think that large corporations would stop putting profits over the health of the consumers. But it seems that exorbitant fines and large verdicts doesn\u2019t modify their behavior.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shapiro noted that Johnson & Johnson faces large verdicts for failing to warn customers of the risk for deadly ovarian cancer after use of talc products. \u201cThese products are ruining or taking people\u2019s lives. The money won\u2019t replace loved one\u2019s or restore the victims, but I hope companies start to act responsibly and consider the devastation they bring on their consumers,\u201d Shapiro said.<\/p>\n
