A former vice president at two Johnson & Johnson subsidiaries claims in a lawsuit he was fired for seeking recalls of numerous faulty products, including the Ortho Evra birth control patch, which is the subject of hundreds of product liability claims. "We would hope that the bringing of this type of suit would encourage companies not to retaliate against employees who blow the whistle," his lawyer said. The company says the plaintiff, who worked there for 15 years, was fired for inappropriate conduct.
