The New York Law Journal (6/7, Walder) reports, “A man who says he contracted a sexually transmitted disease after his wife had an affair with her allegedly infected psychiatrist can bring a negligence action against the doctor, a state judge has ruled.

The man, Carl Levine, claimed that Dr. Robert Werboff had a duty to warn him that he had herpes simplex before having unprotected sex with Levine’s wife.

Looking to ‘common concepts of morality, logic, and … the social consequences of imposing the duty,’ Westchester County Supreme Court Justice Nicholas Colabella agreed that Werboff owed a reasonable duty of care to Mr. Levine.”

Federal officials investigating Johnson & Johnson over the massive recall of children’s medicine earlier this year have said that the drug maker is stalling their investigation.

New York Rep. Edolphus Towns said that J&J has provided the Congressional committee false information and is being much less cooperative than other companies facing similar investigations.

Towns cited several actions by J&J to downplay the recall and hide the medicine defects, calling them disturbing trends within the company. Investigators say that if J&J continues to show a lack of cooperation, more severe actions, such as the issuing of subpoenas and criminal charges, could come next.
