Pharmaceutical giant Wyeth, ordered by a Washoe County jury to pay millions to three Northern Nevada women who claimed the company’s hormone replacement drugs caused their breast cancer, also is fighting more than 5,000 legal battles, a spokesman said Thursday.
Reno, Nev., (AP) – A jury has levied a $134.5 million judgment against the pharmaceutical maker Wyeth in a lawsuit filed by three Nevada women who contended that the company’s hormone-replacement drugs had caused their breast cancer.
After four weeks of testimony and a full day of closing arguments, jurors will begin deliberating this morning to decide whether pharmaceutical giant Wyeth is responsible for the breast cancer suffered by three Northern Nevada women who took the company’s hormone replacement drugs.
