I think it’s know that the drug in question can cause excessive breast tissue growth but J&J didn’t inform him or others.

Boom $8Bn please !!

Why is the payout so huge?! I'd probably put up with having a pair of boobs in exchange for $8m, let alone $8b.

Tell them you’ll happily settle out of court for a couple of million.
