Birth patch contraceptive leads to multiple lawsuits
"A birth control patch has triggered a major legal migraine for Johnson & Johnson, which has been hit with a slew of lawsuits over its patented contraceptive device. As many as 500 suits have been filed over the Ortho Evra patch in the last two years, claiming it has caused clots, strokes and in several cases, death, according to court records and plaintiffs' lawyers."
