Description: John Rizzuto, age 66, sued Philip Morris USA and Liggett Group on products liability theories claiming to have been injured and/or damaged by the cigarettes manufactured and sold by the Defendants that he claimed caused him to developed COPD. Rizzulo started smoking at age 13.

He claimed that the Defendants created and designed nicotine-delivering devices that were marketed to ensnare teens into addictive substances and then concealed the health consequences.

Phillip Morris claimed that Rizzulo could have quit smoking at any time.

Defendant's Experts:

Comments:

Editor's Comment: Tobacco products liability cases are some of the most difficult cases to successfully prosecute for attorneys who represent plaintiffs. The tobacco companies spare no expense in fighting every battle from the date a case is filed until it is finally affirmed by the highest court available to pass on the plaintiff's case. It can be said with absolute certainty that the defendants will file post-trial motions and will appeal the judgment entered by the Circuit Court.
