J&J Settles $5.9 M Risperdal Lawsuit

Johnson & Johnson and Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a division of J&J, have agreed to pay $5.9 million to settle a Risperdal lawsuit that alleged the companies of improperly marketing the medication, which is primarily used to treat atypical psychological disorders such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, as well as irritability associated with autism spectrum disorder in children and teens.

Court documents show the suit was filed in 2008 by the Montana State Attorney General, and accused the defendants of deceptive, illegal and unfair marketing practices of Risperdal. Additionally, the state also alleged that both Johnson & Johnson and Janssen had concealed evidence linking the drug to serious side effects.

While the case has been settled, the companies have not admitted to any wrongdoing.

Additional Risperdal lawsuits are being filed alleging the drug causes gynecomastia in males, an unusual side effect characterized by the growth of large breasts.

According to court documents, Risperdal is the subject of over 200 product liability claims pending in consolidated litigation in Philadelphia Pleas Court, PA.

Has a male you know developed this embarrassing and disturbing side effect?

Phillips Law Group is now investigating claims related to the alleged irresponsible marketing practices and development of gynecomastia in male patients.

Great experience! Took care of pretty much everything, and I always felt like I want in good hands. Caroline Fa. was also a great help with everything. She always returned my calls and I never felt unheard. Even after my case she would still help me with my insurance documents.
Phillips is the best!! Love all that they do to give back to the community and how much they help those who are experiencing homelessness. ❤️
Working at Phillips Law Group has been great the 1st few years in I noticed how well organized and run this Firm was from Intake to Settlement the Client has the expertise of a staff member uniquely qualified for the particular stage of each Clients claim and all other Law firms try to emulate what we do here but none quite get it right because they lack one major component “Compassion”. We are a FAMILY not just a group of people/employees. We care deeply about each other and our clients’ we are considerate, compassionate and make sure that all our Clients’ needs are met from beginning to end. That’s because we treat our clients just like we treat each other. Nothing like walking through the office and saying Hello to fellow employees who always seem to be smiling. 16yrs in and it only seems to be getting better.
PLG is the best! Highly recommend. Love that they do so much to help the community.
I tried a few previous law firms and none would take my car accident case with confidence they could get my anything. Phillips law group took my case and although it took around 4 years to get this case settled as I was in treatment, they never let up with insurance adjusters and they got me as much money as possible. They worked hard for me and advocated for me. Shoutout to key individuals who worked my case nonstop of the years, Robert Ross & Jasmine, you are AMAZING!
Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value As someone who is familiar with the inner workings of the auto insurance industry I can whole heartedly endorse Steven J. Jones and Phillips law group as someone I would want on my side should litigation take place. They handled my case professionally, honestly, and with satisfactory results which I would not have expected without enlisting their help.
My paralegal , Caroline , was on top of her game - very responsive and always answered any questions I had and in a timely manner . My attorney Rob ,was the best attorney I ever had . He explained everything in great detail and had a great sense or humor . He really knows how to bring light To tough , unfortunate situations - I would absolutely recommend them at anyone -
Jasmine Delgado is an amazing paralegal. She was patient, kind and extremely knowledgeable. Highly recommend Phillips law group
Phillips law group has an amazing staff and i recommend them to everyone.
I have been with Phillips Law Group for a little over a year and I have learned what teamwork and family in a workplace looks like. There is always someone around to lend a helping hand, which is something I appreciate and cherish. I feel a sense of joy coming to work every day because of my co-workers as well as being able to help people in what can be a scary and stressful situation. I currently work as a Litigation Legal Assistant with an amazing team. When I started here, I was not very knowledgeable in personal injury. I was lucky to have been placed with an amazing team who was willing to take time to teach and pass on some great skills that have been a huge aid in helping me be successful in my position. I would recommend working here at Phillips Law Group, because they care about their employees and there is so much room for growth.
