Margaret B. Fraser and Joseph T. Fraser v. Wyeth Inc. and Wyeth Pharmaceuticals Inc.: A retired elementary school principal and her husband recovered $4 million after a federal jury in Connecticut decided that the woman developed breast cancer as a result of taking a menopause drug.
According to the lead plaintiffs lawyer, this was the first of several expected trials in Connecticut focusing on the drug Prempro. A trial is expected to start in U.S. District Court in Connecticut in May for the estate of a woman who died from breast cancer after taking the drug.
