Merck looks to be running into a little more trouble with the vioxx lawyers. There’s a case going to a Dallas federal jury on Tuesday. A widow is suing over the death of her husband claiming it was from Vioxx as he was otherwise healthy.

The backstory is that the tests might have omitted a few heart attacks from their results. Apparently the researchers didn’t include them initially and this didn’t come out until after the deadline for including research.

So, pretty nasty all around. Class action suites appear to be in the wings if this one is successful.
