Merck - Vioxx: the hard sell is investigated

Poor Merck. They have received a civil investigative demand from a group of Attorneys General representing 31 states and the District of Columbia.

These guys are are probing as to whether Merck violated state consumer protection laws when marketing Vioxx.

The company is "cooperating" with the investigation.

Insiders' view: This should flush out the whistleblower reps and marketeers. A share of any settlement will go to whistleblowers who help the investigation.

There's money in Vioxx still for some lucky Merck employees!!
