November 3, 2009
Breast cancer survivor Donna Scroggin has had a roller-coaster ride through the judicial system. She won a $27 million punitive damages award in Arkansas federal court in a product liability suit against Wyeth and Upjohn, only to see the award tossed by the trial judge. Now, the 8th Circuit has upheld the judgment in favor of Upjohn -- but has ordered a new punitive damages trial against Wyeth.
