Jury finds Wyeth liable for $2.5M in Fen-Phen case

(1/7/2023) - The Legal Intelligencer reports that a Philadelphia jury on Tuesday found drug maker Wyeth liable for $2.5 million in damages for three women who alleged their heart valve injuries were caused by taking the diet drug Pondimin. According to the article, the verdict came at the end of the liability phase of a reverse-bifurcated trial that began last week before Common Pleas Senior Judge Alfred J. DiBona Jr. and lasted five days. According to the article, the six jurors deliberated for 10 minutes. The verdict is reportedly the largest Philadelphia Fen-Phen verdict to date.
