VIOXX ON TRIAL

NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Merck & Co. was found not liable by a New Jersey jury Thursday in the second lawsuit over its former blockbuster painkiller and arthritis drug Vioxx.

The jury found that Merck did not fail to warn consumers about the safety Vioxx, was not guilty of fraud, did not misrepresent the cardiovascular risks of Vioxx while marketing it to physicians, and did not conceal information about the drug.
