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.

An Ohio jury has awarded a local couple $1.63 million in a lawsuit filed against two doctors that delivered their son four years ago and allegedly caused him injury.

The lawsuit claims that the mother requested a Caesarian section due to the size of the baby, but the doctors refused.

While birthing the baby vaginally, the child’s shoulder became caught, causing permanent injuries to his right arm. The jury found in their verdict that both the doctors were negligent in caring for the woman and baby. Kimball Perry, The Cincinnati Enquirer 06/07/2010

A Myrtle Beach hospital has been ordered to pay $2.88 million to the husband of a woman who died from a seizure after being treated by a hospital doctor in 2002.

Just a few weeks after 20-year-old Cassie Smith filed suit against Hooters of America, claiming the restaurant placed her on weight probation, a second waitress has come forward and filed a similar claim, saying she was fired in 2009 for failing to loose sufficient weight.

Hooters officials claim they have a right to be concerned about their employees’ image because they are considered entertainers, not waitresses.

Both lawsuits, however, cite the Michigan Civil Rights Act, which bars employers from discrimination on the basis of religion, marital status, race, age, height and weight. Steve Neavling, Detroit Free Press 06/02/2010
