J&J’s Opioid Troubles Far From Over
Johnson & Johnson, our award winning “worst company of 2019”, received a grand jury subpoena from the DOJ for its opioid distributions according to their filing submitted last Monday to the US Securities and Exchange Commission. The subpoena means, among other things, that J&J’s opioid troubles are far from over. For anyone who still owns stock in the company, now is probably best to unload.
Philly Jury Hits Vein Filter Co. With $34M Defect AwardA Philadelphia jury returned a $33.7 million verdict on Monday after finding that Rex Medical LP had defectively designed a clot-catching vein filter that perforated a major blood vessel and became permanently lodged inside a woman’s body.

Regardless of Your Politics or Climate Change Beliefs, Issue Is Coming to a Head in a Major Way.The New York AG started a bench trial last week seeking $1.6B against the fossil fuel giant Exxon alleging the behemoth company lied to its investors about its role in climate change. The trial is one of many stacked up waiting for their day in court to hold major players responsible for alleged climate crisis. While last week’s trial was underway, the Massachusetts AG filed a similar complaint against Exxon making far broader accusations against the giant, including that Exxon lied to investors about climate-related risks to its business, deceived consumers about how its fossil fuel products contribute to climate change and misled consumers about being an environmentally responsible company. If NY is seeking $1.6B, Mass just injected steroids into Exxon’s risk on the second one. And if NY gets their verdict, you can bet far more states, not just Mass, will be filing thereafter. This will be monumental to watch. We will keep you posted. Listen to our podcast here to learn more: https://lnkd.in/eSu23Qs
