If this link ends, the drug in question is Reglan (metoclopramide), a drug well known to cause Tardive in some patients.
This type of thing gets complex.... I find on the FDA website,
Alaven Pharmaceuticals owns Reglan's trademark.
Alaven no longer exists, and was incorporated into Meda.
So when this suit was initially brought? Maybe Wyeth had it? But not today.

Gladys Mensing of Minnesota and Julie Demahy of Louisiana both were prescribed metoclopramide -- marketed as Reglan by Wyeth Pharmaceuticals -- to treat their heartburn and acid reflux. Their pharmacists separately filled the prescription with a generic equivalent made by PLIVA, Inc. and Actavis, Inc.

Wyeth no longer exists either!
I suspect this decision was partisan based, and that is hinted at in the content of the news item, IMO.
