In an apparent case of first impression, a Philadelphia judge said there were no errors of law that should lead to the overturning of a $10 million verdict awarded in a case in which the plaintiffs argued that a young girl’s use of over-the-counter Children’s Motrin left her blind in one eye, with damage to her reproductive system and permanent disfigurement of much of her skin.
The $10 million in compensatory damages was awarded against Johnson & Johnson’s McNeil-PPC on the claim that the drugmaker failed to adequately warn of the risks of taking over-the-counter Children’s Motrin.
