Jury awarded $5 million in Tylenol Lawsuit
A judge ruled in favor of the plaintiff and awarded $5 million to the family of 1-year-old child, who died due to liver failure from an overdose of Infants’ Tylenol. He concluded that the pharmaceutical company breached the duty of good faith and held it responsible for the death of the child. This ruling, which came in 2007, played a morale booster for many lawsuits related to liver failure as its side effects.
