[75 N.Y.2d 196 Page 199] OPINION OF THE COURT A judgment for $9.2 million in compensatory damages and $13 million in punitive damages, based on a
jury verdict, was recovered in an Illinois trial court against American Home Products Corp. (AHP). The damages were awarded
for the grave and permanent injuries (including severe impairment of mental function) sustained by Marcus Batteast, a two-year-old
boy, as a result of the administration of a drug, aminophylline, manufactured by AHP through its subsidiary, Wyeth Laboratories.
On appeal to the appellate court of Illinois the judgment against AHP was unanimously affirmed (Batteast v American Home Prods.
