Pfizer Inc. asked a judge to order the removal of an Internet video about its menopause medicines that the company says is misleading and aimed at swaying potential jurors in future trials over the pills.
The video, posted by plaintiffs’ lawyers who recently won more than $78 million in damages in a Pennsylvania trial over Pfizer’s Prempro hormone-replacement drug, violates state legal-ethics rules and threatens the integrity of pending cases, Pfizer’s attorneys said in a court filing. The video, titled “Prempro News Segment,” is posted to the YouTube.com Web site.
