Judge rejects Knoll Drug deal over lawyer fees
Article Abstract:
A Chicago federal judge terminated a proposed $98 million litigation settlement between Knoll Pharmaceutical Co. and lawyers representing millions of consumers who were allegedly overcharged for buying the company's Synthroid thryroid medication. The ruling comes on the heels of protests by consumer groups and six state attorney generals over a settlement that would have awarded plaintiffs with $14 per person, but that gave their attorneys $28 million in fees.
