Dangerous Drugs
Individuals across the country rely on prescription drugs to treat a host of ailments, and to meet this demand, pharmaceutical companies frequently unveil new treatment options. But some new drugs are not tested properly before they are released to the public, and some consumers may experience severe side effects as a result. In this case, if the manufacturer of the drug failed to warn consumers adequately about the risks associated with taking the drug or otherwise created a dangerous drug, it may be liable for a resultant drug injury or death. Injured parties should consider discussing their options for justice and compensation with an experienced dangerous drugs attorney. Our firm has helped many patients across the United States who were injured while taking a dangerous drug. We encourage you to take advantage of our free and confidential consultation.

Dangerous Drugs May Escape Recalls and Remain on Shelves 

In order to protect consumers in the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) may issue recalls of medications deemed unsafe for use. These recalls are astonishingly common; a 2010 article in CNN reported an uptick in recalls in 2009, claiming that there were 1,742 recalls that year.

In some cases, these drugs stay on the shelves in pharmacies across the country, endangering the public. Other drugs are not subject to a recall but may cause injuries nonetheless.
