Sadly, the same stupid jury that awarded $20+million to Anne Arnold, Richard Sacks and Tony Devito and it's lawyers, it has now added another $162 million to it's award.
From the LVRJ: A jury levied $162.5 million in punitive damages Monday against the drug companies that made and sold the sedative linked to Southern Nevada's hepatitis C outbreak.
The jury heard seven weeks of trial testimony before finding Teva Parenteral Medicines Inc., Baxter Healthcare Corp. and McKesson Medical-Surgical liable for the infections of hepatitis patients Anne Arnold, Richard Sacks and Tony Devito.
The jury previously awarded $20.1 million in compensatory damages to the plaintiffs, who sued under product liability claims.

At least this just is not as stupid as the other jury that gave well over $500 million to a couple for their injuries.
The drug company did nothing wrong in this case. A doctor(who is faking mental illness/disability from strokes) and his employees including nurses, are the ones that abused the drug by reusing it, not the drug company.
Once again, if you want to sue someone, come to Las Vegas and Clark County. We have some of the stupidest people in the jury pool. These juries somehow lack the intelligence genes from the gene pool and so they give these outrageous awards.
