Jury again rules against Merck in a Vioxx case - Business

Jury again rules against Merck in a Vioxx case: "Delivering a sharp blow to Merck, a New Jersey jury has found that the company did not properly warn patients of the dangers of its drug Vioxx and thus was responsible for a heart attack suffered by John McDarby in 2004.

The jury awarded McDarby, who had taken Vioxx for four years, $3 million in compensatory damages and Irma, his wife, an additional $1.5 million." [IHT}
