Greg Monforton, President-Elect of the Ontario Trial Lawyers Association and the lawyer representing hundreds of Canadian Vioxx claimants in all provinces reacted to today’s $9 million punitive damage award by a New Jersey jury by saying, “this jury concluded that Merck withheld material information from the FDA and that its actions were deliberately meant to harm. The trail of Merck documents, starting long before Merck even sought FDA approval in 1999, and continuing until withdrawal of Vioxx from the market, show and confirm a pattern of corruption and deception by Merck, resulting in a conscious and deliberate indifference to the safety and health of their customers." Monforton also said: “this jury's verdict in New Jersey was built on a solid foundation of documented misbehavior by Merck and no matter how vigorously Merck shouts otherwise, the documents tell the real story." Greg Monforton currently represents over 250 Canadians who have suffered heart attacks, strokes or lost their lives while taking Vioxx. Contact: Greg Monforton |
