Seventeen state representatives wrote New Hampshire Attorney General Kelly Ayotte in May, asking her to seek financial compensation from pharmaceutical companies that have improperly marketed or not fully disclosed side effects of antipsychotic drugs.
The petitioners didn’t know it at the time, but the attorney general’s office had been investigating one of those companies, Bristol-Myers Squibb, since 2004.
