Little Rock Ark.: Arkansas To Ask Court To Reconsider Drug Fine
Associated PressApril 3, 2014
LITTLE ROCK, ARK. — Arkansas Attorney General Dustin McDaniel said Thursday he plans to ask the state Supreme Court to reconsider its decision tossing out a $1.2 billion judgment against drugmaker Johnson & Johnson over the marketing of the antipsychotic drug Risperdal.
McDaniel told the Arkansas Code Revision Commission that he would file a petition asking the court to revisit last month's ruling that the state misapplied the Medicaid fraud law in its suit against Johnson & Johnson and its subsidiary, Janssen Pharmaceutical Inc. The state alleged the companies didn't properly communicate Risperdal's risks and marketed it for off-label use, calling the practices fraudulent.
The Arkansas Cod Revisions Commission voted to provide McDaniel's office with an analysis comparing the 1993 law as it was passed to the way it was written into state code. The commission is responsible for making technical corrections to state code.
