Consumers Rights and Dangerous Pharmaceuticals


The pharmaceuticals industry is an incredibly lucrative business. Cutting-edge drugs for all kinds of diseases command high prices - especially when there's no generic option. Unfortunately, with all the money to be made, some major pharmaceutical companies do cut corners. They either fail to conduct the proper tests to ensure there are no risks to patients, or else they conceal the results of these tests, effectively gambling with the lives of sick individuals all while making millions - or even billions - of dollars in annual revenue.

This is not right. If you've suffered illness or personal injury as a result of taking a dangerous drug, you do have legal rights and should seek the consul of an experienced attorney. If it can be proven that the manufacturer of the medicine in questions was negligent in either testing the drug or in notifying consumers of its hazards, then you may be entitled to compensation.

In Texas, we put our trust in the FDA (Food and Drug Administration). It is their job to make sure that the drugs which are released to the market are safe for human consumption. They make their decision based on the information and research provided to them by the pharmaceutical manufacturer. If information is withheld or untruthful, they are unable to make the correct decision regarding a product's safety and as a result the very lives of the public are put at risk.

In 2011 alone, there are numerous drugs whose dangers have become apparent. These include the Type II Diabetes drug, Actos; the birth control pill Yaz (Yasmin/Ocella); hair loss prevention medication Propecia; heart medicine Multaq; and gastroesophageal reflux drug Reglan. Each of these drugs is current in a different stage of investigation by the FDA - some have been withdrawn from the market, have had an FDA Black Box Warning imposed or may still be widely available despite the recent cautions that they cause illness ranging from sexual dysfunction to bladder cancer.

If you or someone you love has been affected by a dangerous drug, it's important that you are fully aware of your options and rights. Call the Arlington personal injury lawyers at the Anderson Law Firm toll free at 800-354-6275 for a completely free and confidential consultation on your particular situation.
