Another Merck Verdict
On Friday, in the sixth case to be tried to a jury against Merck in a Vioxx case, a Texas jury found Merck liable for the wrongful death of a 71-year-old man who suffered a fatal heart attack within a month after taking Vioxx. The jury awarded damages of $32 million, including $7 million in compensatory and $25 million on punitive damages. Merck intends to appeal the verdict in the case. By Lynn Brezosky, AP Findlaw
