Margaret B. Fraser and Joseph T. Fraser v. Wyeth and Wyeth Pharmaceuticals: A Connecticut federal judge has upheld a jury verdict that totals nearly $5.8 million in the case of a Lakeville woman who claimed she developed breast cancer after taking the menopause drug Prempro.
Drug maker Wyeth Inc., owned by Pfizer Inc., had asked U.S. District Judge Janet Bond Arterton to reverse the jury’s 2012 verdict and rule there was not enough evidence to support the decision. The defendants also filed a separate motion for a new trial. Arterton denied both requests in a written ruling released earlier this month.
