Johnson & Johnson — Unfair Trade Practice Defence

Jim McDermott, Dwain Clifford, and Ciaran Connelly defended Johnson & Johnson, McNeil-PPC, Inc., and McNeil Healthcare, LLC (collectively Johnson & Johnson) in a $20 million lawsuit by the State of Oregon for alleged violations of Oregon’s Unfair Trade Practices Act.

Oregon’s Attorney General was the first to bring suit among the state attorneys general who were investigating Johnson & Johnson for allegedly selling defective Motrin 8-count and 24-count caplets. The parties agreed to a Stipulated General Judgment in May 2017.
