It has been reported that among the Risperdal lawsuits pending against Johnson & Johnson and its Janssen unit, at least 130 of these cases allege that the drug caused male adolescents to grow breasts. The plaintiff in one of these cases alleged that he developed breasts as a result of his use of Risperdal, which he took between the ages of 9 and 14. He claimed that he developed psychological trauma as a result of his injuries and needed surgery to remove the breast tissue. On the first day of trial in mid-September 2012, Johnson & Johnson agreed to a settlement, the amount of which remains confidential.
