Were you diagnosed with breast cancer after using Risperdal or similar antipsychotic medications?

Risperdal (risperidone) is a widely prescribed antipsychotic used to treat schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and related mental health conditions. But recent lawsuits allege that Janssen Pharmaceuticals, a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, failed to properly warn patients and healthcare providers about the drug’s link to breast cancer.

If you were diagnosed with breast cancer after taking Risperdal, Invega, or Zyprexa, you may be eligible to file a lawsuit. Click HERE for a FREE Case Review.

Why Are People Filing Risperdal Breast Cancer Lawsuits?

Risperdal belongs to a class of medications called atypical antipsychotics, which are known to elevate prolactin levels—a hormone involved in breast tissue development. Excessive prolactin can lead to abnormal breast growth and, according to multiple studies, may significantly increase the risk of breast cancer.

A 2022 medical study reviewed over 540,000 women’s health records and found that:

  • Women taking antipsychotics had a 35% higher risk of developing breast cancer

  • Risperdal, classified as a Category 1 drug for prolactin elevation, was linked to a 62% higher breast cancer risk

Despite this alarming data, many patients were never warned about these dangers.

Who May Qualify for a Lawsuit?

You may qualify to file a Risperdal breast cancer lawsuit if you meet the following criteria:

  • You took Risperdal, Invega, Zyprexa, or their generic versions

  • You used the medication for two years or more

  • You started using the drug after 2014

  • You were diagnosed with breast cancer after using the medication

What Are the Lawsuits Alleging?

Lawsuits against Janssen Pharmaceuticals and other drugmakers claim:

  • Failure to warn patients and healthcare providers about the link between antipsychotic medications and breast cancer

  • Negligent marketing that minimized or omitted risks of prolactin-related complications

  • Withholding critical safety information, depriving patients of informed consent

By filing a claim, affected individuals are seeking justice and compensation for the harm caused by pharmaceutical negligence.

What Damages Can Be Recovered?

Breast cancer takes a toll on every part of life—physically, emotionally, and financially. A successful Risperdal breast cancer lawsuit may provide compensation for:

  • Medical costs for surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, and long-term care

  • Lost wages or reduced earning ability due to cancer treatment

  • Physical pain and long-term disability

  • Emotional suffering and reduced quality of life

  • Additional care and assistance during treatment and recovery

Why Now?

Breast cancer cases linked to Risperdal and other antipsychotics are being actively investigated nationwide. Legal deadlines (statutes of limitations) apply, and each state has its own rules about when you can file a claim. Acting quickly helps protect your rights.

Ongoing studies continue to expose new findings, but many patients have already stepped forward to hold pharmaceutical companies accountable for failing to disclose life-changing risks.

Key Differences Between Mass Tort and Class Action Lawsuits

Structure:
  • Mass Tort: Involves multiple individual lawsuits grouped together due to common elements or defendants.
  • Class Action Lawsuits: A single lawsuit brought on behalf of a larger group, known as the class, with a designated representative plaintiff.
Individual Control:
  • Mass Tort: Each plaintiff maintains control over their case and its resolution.
  • Class Action Lawsuits: Class members have limited control over the lawsuit, with decisions made by the representative plaintiff and their legal team.
Compensation:
  • Mass Tort: Compensation and settlements are determined individually, considering the unique circumstances and harm suffered by each plaintiff.
  • Class Action Lawsuits: Compensation and settlements are typically distributed uniformly among all class members, often on a pro-rata basis.
Applicability:
  • Mass Tort: Ideal when cases involve varying degrees of harm or distinct circumstances for each plaintiff.
  • Class Action Lawsuits: Effective when numerous claimants have similar claims and a uniform resolution is practical.
Efficiency:
  • Mass Tort: May be more time-consuming and complex due to individual case management.
  • Class Action Lawsuits: Generally more efficient in terms of time and resources as it consolidates claims into one proceeding.
Understanding these differences is crucial for both plaintiffs and defendants when determining the most appropriate legal strategy for addressing a collective grievance or harm.
