J&J Settles Illegal Marketing Claims Involving Risperdal
In a recent regulatory filing, Johnson & Johnson revealed that it had reached an “agreement in principle” with the federal Department of Justice and a number of states involving marketing practices for Risperdal. Specifically, drug maker Johnson & Johnson reported that it had reached a settlement of three pending False Claims Act cases pending in Pennsylvania, California, and Massachusetts related to marketing of Risperdal, Invega, and Natrecor. The drug maker also reported that it had reached a tentative settlement agreement with 38 states and the District of Columbia to settle non-Medicaid actions in connection with the sales and marketing of Risperdal and Invega. Recent reports have suggested that Johnson & Johnson and the Department of Justice have agreed to a settlement for up to $2.2 billion which will resolve federal probes into the company’s drug marketing practices. The settlement amount purportedly includes a $400 million criminal fine for the illegal promotion of Risperdal.

Susan and Forest were outstanding. Very helpful through the whole process and definitely fought to help me greatly. It’s a very overwhelming process and without them I feel certain I would have been left without nearly as much. I absolutely will use the old fashion word of mouth sales pitch for your team. That’s actually how I found Forest. Through a friend who had used them. I will be telling anyone I know who has an accident to absolutely use Forest and Susan. I couldn’t be more satisfied with their treatment of me and my case. They are outstanding.
