Janssen Pharmaceuticals, the arm of Johnson & Johnson behind the anti-seizure drug Topamax, is the target of over 100 lawsuits in the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas. The pharmaceutical company is currently defending itself in a Topamax birth defects lawsuit involving a family from Wisconsin. The plaintiffs in the case have a child whose birth defects they allege are the result of exposure to Topamax in the womb.
According to Law360, the Wisconsin family filed their Topamax lawsuit against Janssen Pharmaceuticals claiming that the drug manufacturer neglected to adequately advise health care providers and patients about the risks associated with Topamax use during pregnancy. The most commonly reported Topamax birth defect in children exposed to the drug in the womb include oral defects, cleft lip and/or cleft palate.
