Supreme Court rules Drug Companies exempt from Lawsuits

Drug companies failed to warn patients that toxic epidermal necrolysis was a side effect. But the Supreme Court ruled they’re still not liable for damages.

Excerpts:

In case readers missed it with all the coverage of the Trayvon Martin murder trial and the Supreme Court’s rulings on gay marriage and the Voting Rights Act, the US Supreme Court also made a ruling on lawsuits against drug companies for fraud, mislabeling, side effects and accidental death. From now on, 80 percent of all drugs are exempt from legal liability.

In a 5-4 vote, the US Supreme Court struck down a lower court’s ruling and award for the victim of a pharmaceutical drug’s adverse reaction. According to the victim and the state courts, the drug caused a flesh-eating side effect that left the patient permanently disfigured over most of her body. The adverse reaction was hidden by the drug maker and later forced to be included on all warning labels. But the highest court in the land ruled that the victim had no legal grounds to sue the corporation because its drugs are exempt from lawsuits.

Your understanding of the law is consistent with your other views and probabilities. Understand what the majority said on the SCOTUS before you create your own reality. This dealt very specifically with a generic drug which used the FDA prescribed label on their product. The plaintiffs wanted to get a recovery for a damaged plaintiff based on the warning being inadequate. The supremes in a very narrow decision said that there was no liability to the generic drug company following the FDA mandated label.

The decision is not what you have represented it to be. You consistently have sophomoric analysis of anything which is remotely complex and revert to superstition and ignorance as guides.......and they have served you well.

If you could prove your point then attacking me would be unnecessary...sorry charlie you are just another sucker...
