$8B Awarded by Philadelphia Jury in Lawsuit Against Johnson & Johnson

Johnson & Johnson have been ordered to pay the man for failing to warn him of the side-effects of one of their drugs after he grew  breasts.

A Philadelphia jury awarded the 26 year-old man an $8 billion dollar pay out after he said the drug Risperdal caused him to develop gynecomastia — enlarged male breasts.  Thousands of others are suing the company for the same.

He was taking the drug to treat schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, after an autism diagnosis in 2003.
