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.
