Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff sued the makers of Risperdal and
Seroquel yesterday in the Third Judicial District Court of Salt Lake County, Utah.

Shurtleff sued Janssen and AstraZeneca over the “wrongful and illegal marketing,
sale and promotion of the atypical antipsychotics risperidone (known as Risperdal)
and quetiapine (known as Seroquel).”

The lawsuit says that Janssen and AstraZeneca knew or should have known but failed
to warn and misled the FDA and the State of Utah regarding Rispderdal’s and Seroquel’s
association with the development of diabetes, diabetes-related conditions, including weight
gain and other serious,even life thereatening medical conditions.
