Illegal marketing off the Neurotin drug 243

Product Liability is another area of San Diego Personal Injury Law.

Drug maker Pfizer Inc. has been ordered to pay $142.1 million in damages over illegal marketing of the epilepsy drug Neurontin. Pfizer was accused of marketing the drug as a treatment for migraines and bipolar disorder, neither of which have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The original jury award was $47.3 million, but was tripled under a provision of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act.  San Diego personal injury attorney Jef Feeley and Janelle Lawrence, Bloomberg  01/28/2011
