California sued Johnson & Johnson in 2016, alleging unfair competition and false advertising.
Washington state’s suit claims Johnson & Johnson was negligent when it used deceptive marketing to say the drugs were effective for treating pain and unlikely to cause addiction.
His office said the judgment marks the first time a court has found that Johnson & Johnson engaged in “illegal false and deceptive business practices.” The judge’s ruling notes that the trial included testimony from the medical director of a company subsidiary who said that the company knew at the product’s launch that it could cause severe, long-term complications, and that removal might be necessary, although it could be harmful and could require multiple surgeries.
