Supreme Court: Consumers Can Sue Drug makers
March 6, 2009 by NC
In a landmark decision, the U.S. Supreme Court has rejected the Bush Administration and Big Pharma’s claim that FDA approval of a warning label on a drug preempts any claim of inadequete warnings concerning the drug. This is an important decision, as it gives consumers recourse for drugs with labels that fail to fully disclose the potential dangers. hThe Supreme Court rejected the notion that government approval of a warning label is the end of the responsibility of drug companies with knowledge of undisclosed adverse effects. Check out the video below, especially to the specious nature of every claim made by the Big Pharma lobbyist:
This is great news for people who have been given drugs that end up having adverse or even fatal consequences. In recent years, it has become increasingly evident that the oversight provided by the FDA has holes that leave the public at large at risk. This is unacceptable and Advocates for Justice will continue to fight on the front lines for clients that have been harmed by dangerous drugs. If you or someone in your family have been harmed by dangerous prescription drugs call 612.333.7733 to discuss your legal options.
