Lawyers suing Roche Laboratories had reason to be dismayed 14 months ago when a New Jersey state appeals court threw out a $2.5 million jury verdict they had won. On Tuesday, the lawyers won 10 times more at the retrial, after jurors found that Roche knew or should have known that Accutane caused inflammatory bowel disease and failed to warn prescribing physicians. The award is the largest that an Accutane user has won against the drugmaker. In a statement, Roche said it plans to appeal the verdict.
