A Philadelphia jury awarded Donna Kendall $6.3 million in compensatory damages and $28 million in punitive damages after finding that Wyeth's Prempro hormone-replacement drug caused her breast cancer and the double mastectomy that followed; the Pennsylvania Superior Court restored the full punitive award in 2012 after the trial judge had cut it to $1 million.
