Case Details
Jury found Vioxx was the cause of death for Leonel Garza, who suffered a lethal heart attack after being prescribed the drug for chronic arm pain. Merck failed to warn of the drug's risks.
Additional Notes
The amount will probably be reduced due to a state cap on punitive damages. The Texas Supreme Court overturned the judgment on other grounds.
