Johnson & Johnson faces the first product liability personal injury lawsuit over side effects of Levaquin that caused peripheral neuropathy for Karyn Grossman, from Maryland. According to Grossman, she developed the severe and often permanent form of nerve damage after using the popular antibiotic.
The lawsuit was filed in September in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, against Johnson & Johnson, Ortho-McNeil-Janssen Pharmaceuticals subsidiary and the drug distributor, McKesson Corp. as defendants.
