I was soooooo happy to read something about Merck & Co!! A jury awarded a former Vioxx user, who had a heart attack while using the drug, $4.5 million!!! The jury said that Merck failed to adequately warn about the risk factors linking the pain killer to heart attacks and strokes. The company faces about 9,650 lawsuits in regards to Vioxx.
Score one for those of us who promote health!!
In my friend, Kira's, HealthnWellness4u blog she mentioned that a former Vioxx user was awared $4.5 million! Now that is a Niche topic I could start a blog on - Vioxx Lawsuits.
