A federal judge has overturned a $50 million jury award against Merck in a lawsuit filed by a Vioxx user.
Judge Eldon Fallon ruled that the damage award in the federal Vioxx case this month was excessive, and that a new trial must be held on the damages for a retired FBI agent who suffered a heart attack after taking the painkiller, the Associated Press reported.
Nice (and more) work for the lawyers. Kerching!
