(nyse: MO - news - people) said on Tuesday. The spokesman could provide no other details. Philip Morris USA last month was ordered to pay $10.1 billion in damages after losing a class-action lawsuit in Illinois in which it was found to have misled smokers into thinking "light" cigarettes were safer than regular smokes. Attorneys for the plaintiffs in the case said on Tuesday that Philip Morris USA had said it would remove the words "lowered tar and nicotine" from packages of its Marlboro Light cigarettes during a closed-door hearing to determine the size of bond Philip Morris USA would have to post to appeal the verdict.
