Duplicate Meta Tags, Do they cause your site to rank lower?

    Hi,
    I am using a template driven site and when you insert the meta tags for a specific product line, the site duplicates the meta tags for every page in that catagory, even when the pages contain different products.
    I have just signed up to google web master tools and saw that I have duplicate meta tags listed in one of the google reports. My question is, Is this costing me in the search listings?

    thanks,
    James
