If you are male and have experienced breast growth after taking Risperdal or Invega, you could have a claim which would allow you to sue the pharmaceutical company that manufactured the drug you took. If you or a loved one was diagnosed with tardive dyskinesia after taking a second generation antipsychotic such as these drugs, you may also have a claim. Finally, if a loved one suffering from dementia was prescribed Risperdal or Invega and suffered a stroke or other serious cardiovascular event, you may have a claim for money damages.
Generally, manufacturers are liable for all the harm caused by their defectively designed products. In this case, there is strong evidence that Johnson and Johnson knew that Risperdal would cause breast growth in males and risked killing elderly dementia patients, yet concealed these facts while aggressively marketing Risperdal to these populations.
