Judge
Reduces Award by $76M in Wyeth Case
February
19, 2008--A
US judge reduced a $134-million judgment awarded to three Nevada
women by a jury that decided their breast cancers were caused by a
Wyeth drug. Granting Wyeth’s motion to find the damages
excessive, Washoe County District Court Judge Robert Perry cut the
judgment to about $58 million. Wyeth faces about 5,300 similar
lawsuits across the US, all of which involve the drugs Premarin
and Prempro. AP/CNNMoney.com
