Johnson & Johnson, '- N.E.2d ”, 2007 WL 4569719 (Ohio,2007), decided on Dec. 27, 2007, Ohio's Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the State's law limiting recoveries for certain tort-caused injuries. The question concerning the constitutionality of the caps was certified to the State's highest court by the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, which will be hearing the case in which a plaintiff claims pharmaceutical manufacturer Johnson & Johnson and others are responsible for the blood clots and other injuries she claims to have suffered due to her use of the Ortho Evra hormonal birth-control patch.

No. 80 of the 125th General Assembly (S.B. 80) that went into effect on April 7, 2005.
