(Newswire.net — December 18, 2013) — Philadelphia, PA: The lawsuit brought against corporate health care giant Johnson & Johnson for misbranding the drugs Risperdal, Invega and Natecor has been settled for $2.2 billion in criminal fines and forfeitures.The verdict took over ten years to achieve, but now has patients coming forward to be compensated for side effects from using these drugs.
Ginsburg & Associates is calling for patients to contact them immediately to begin a strategy to help win justice for pain and suffering.
The firm is ready to guide patients through the legal maze. The FDA approved Risperdal and Invega for nothing other than to treat patients for schizophrenia, and Natecor was approved only for congestive heart failure. The drugs however, were promoted by Johnson and Johnson, and its subsidiary Janssen and Scios in a number of ways that were not approved. The term for this is called off branding.
Attorney General, for the Department of Justice, Office of Public Affair, Eric Holder was appalled to learn of these criminal actions and stated, “The conduct at issue in this case jeopardized the health and safety of patients and damaged the public trust”. “This multibillion-dollar resolution demonstrates the Justice Department’s firm commitment to preventing and combating all forms of health care fraud. And it proves our determination to hold accountable any corporation that breaks the law and enriches its bottom line at the expense of the American people.”
