The Beehive State Joins the Zyprexa Party
As pointed out by Ed at Pharmalot, Utah is now added to the list of states suing Lilly over its promotion of Zyprexa. Read some of the statements from Attorney General Mark Shurtleff regarding the lawsuit. The lawsuits just keep stacking up.
It must suck to be Lilly these days. The documents that may incriminate Lilly are just hanging out in full public view. Any enterprising attorney general just needs to get their feet wet by looking through a handful of documents (which can be downloaded here and here) and by perhaps taking a peek at a few posts by your humble correspondent and Philip Dawdy, such as the following:

I cannot WAIT until the grassrootz movement gets this drug recalled. It cannot be done through the courts, and shame on the lawyers for not helping this cause along.
