Any estimates about the potential liabilities from lawsuits? Current estimates are about 10B which they could cover from liquid assets and the large annual cashflows. But who knows if 10B are sufficient? With cases popping up every where it could be 20 or 30 as well? And with Vioxx gone, the cashflow estimates need to be reduced (the 6B figure in free cashflow). Though, low teens could be a real gift.
