Texas Jury Awards $772,500 in Pain Reliever Patch Case
A Texas jury awarded $772,500 to the Estate of a woman who died after using a pain relief patch manufactured by Johnson & Johnson. The jury found that the patch 'leaked', releasing a lethal amount of the pain killer into the women's system.
The patch was first introduced in the 1990's, but J & J sped up production in 2003 when the patent for the drug was about to expire.
The FDA is looking into about 120 deaths that may be a result of the patch.
