HOUSTON – A Harris County woman alleges she was injured while participating in a team-building activity in Mexico.

Julianne King filed a complaint on May 7 in the Harris County District Court against Valeant Pharmaceuticals International Inc. alleging negligence.

According to the complaint, the plaintiff's husband is employed by the defendant and traveled with him to attend an award ceremony in Mexico.
