Case Details
Federal court jury awarded $140 million to heart attack patient Jeffrey Konrad who claimed drug maker AbbVie failed to warn about increased risk of heart attack when using AndroGel, a 'low-T' testosterone replacement drug. Konrad suffered a heart attack in 2010 at age 49 after taking AndroGel for only 2 months.
Additional Notes
This is the second multi-million verdict against AbbVie this year after an earlier jury awarded $150 million in punitive damages related to the use of AndroGel. Plaintiff won on a 'failure to warn' theory of liability. Punitive damages were $140 million, compensatory damages were $140,000.
