Oregon has sued Johnson & Johnson for allegedly selling defective Motrin drugs to consumers in the state for more than a year, and for trying to secretly remove the faulty drugs from stores.
"Companies that break the rules and put consumers at risk will be held accountable," Oregon Attorney General John Kroger said in a statement.
The state filed the lawsuit Wednesday against J&J (JNJ, Fortune 500) and its two subsidiaries, McNeil PPC Inc. and McNeil Healthcare Inc. The company's McNeil division makes over-the-counter cold and pain drugs such as Tylenol, Motrin and Benadryl.
The suit claims that J&J discovered in late 2008 that some supplies of Motrin sold in gas stations and convenience stores nationwide were defective because they were not properly dissolving.
