Accutane Lawsuits Total More
Than $33 Million
Most recently, Roche lost several Accutane lawsuits
brought by people who claimed the Accutane drug caused
them to develop inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). In
November 2008, a New Jersey jury ordered the company
to pay $13 million to three such plaintiffs. The previous
April, another New Jersey jury awarded $10.5 million
to a woman who blamed the drug for her ulcerative colitis.
In May 2007, another New Jersey trial resulted in an
Accutane award of $2.62 million to a patient who needed
to have his colon and most of his rectum removed after
taking the drug. In October that same year, a Florida
jury awarded $7 million in damages to another Accutane
user who developed the IBD.
In announcing its decision to pull Accutane,
Roche did cite the high cost of product liability Accutane
suits – it currently faces 5000 such Accutane
lawsuits – involving the Accutane drug. But according
to Bloomberg.com, the company also said a reevaluation
of its Accutane product line had shown Accutane faced
serious competition from generics.
