 State of Texas v. Janssen, L.P.
The lawsuit was filed in Texas district court in Travis County by Allen
Jones, a former employee of the Pennsylvania Inspector Generals Office.
Mr. Jones filed the lawsuit in 2004 alleging that during an
investigation in Pennsylvania he uncovered evidence that Janssen had
promoted Risperdal in Texas by offering policymakers trips, travel
expenses, speaking fees, and other forms of improper compensation. The
lawsuit also charges that Janssen orchestrated continuing education
programs, speakers' bureaus, advisory boards, and trade publications to
serve primarily as marketing tools rather than sources of accurate
information about the medication.
