Case Details
Johnson & Johnson paid over $2.2 billion in criminal and civil fees for illegally marketing the antipsychotic drug Risperdal to unapproved audiences and paying kickbacks.
Additional Notes
The settlement is the third-largest healthcare fraud settlement in U.S. history. J&J pleaded guilty to a criminal misdemeanor but did not admit wrongdoing in the civil portion. The drug was marketed to older adults with dementia, people with developmental disabilities, and children with ADHD, despite FDA rejections for these uses.
