Failure to Warn of a Drug Defect

Failure to warn doctors and consumers about the harmful side effects a drug can have is a potential product liability claim. Pharmaceutical companies have a legal obligation to warn medical professionals and consumers so they can make an informed choice. Too often, drug makers know that their products are dangerous but intentionally hide the evidence because they do not want to lose sales.

Illegal Marketing

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approves medications for specific purposes. Any other use is called “off-label”. Although doctors can legally prescribe drugs off-label if they believe it will help their patients, pharmaceutical companies are not allowed to market their drugs off-label.

Of course, they do it anyway. It is not unusual for drug makers to use illegal marketing tactics and even pay kickbacks to doctors for prescribing their drugs off-label.

Drug Recalls

Drug recalls are a confusing topic for most consumers. Recalls are typically for label changes. Drugs are rarely withdrawn from the market once they have received FDA approval. If a medication is found to be dangerous after approval, a recall may be issued due to updates to the warning label.

What you need to know is that you can sue for your drug injuries even if the drug that harmed you has not been subject to a recall.
