Defective Drugs

Many prescription drugs on the market today have been the subject of recalls, due to adverse side effects that were discovered after the drug had been approved for public use. In come cases, manufacturers have even known about these adverse affects, but have chosen to hide this information from the public, in spite of the dangers to public health. These recalls include such drugs as:

• Heparin

In some cases, even when a drug has been found to have serious side effects, it is not taken off the market. Instead, a warning is added to the label, and for very serious side effects, a "black box" warning is added.

Unfortunately, the Food and Drug Administration does not always have the time to rigorously screen drugs it is reviewing, and defective drugs may slip into the market. In some cases, drug manufacturers may conceal or slant data to support approval of their drugs. In these cases, the effects of a drug cannot be fully known until the public is exposed to its use.

Drug manufacturers are theoretically responsible for testing their drugs thoroughly before presenting them to the FDA for approval, and for giving the FDA information about the drug's possible adverse reactions. Drug manufacturers may be held liable for any serious injuries or deaths caused by their products.
