CNN MONEY recently ran a story on the Fosamax lawsuit.

Could this be another Vioxx? The plaintiffs in approximately 11,500 lawsuits blame the arthritis painkiller for causing their heart attacks, and accuse Merck of withholding information about the drug's health risks. Merck has said all along that Vioxx didn't kill anyone and denied all charges of corporate wrongdoing.

So far, Merck has lost two cases, won two, and there was a split verdict in another. The next trial begins June 5, in a case involving two plaintiffs in a New Jersey state court in Atlantic City.
