Defective drugs have been approved by the FDA because the possibility of dangerous side effects was not fully discovered in clinical trials. In some cases, medications that are believed to have a huge impact are rushed through clinical trials in order to get them on the market quickly. Once a medication has been discovered to have detrimental side effects, the FDA may label them as defective and recall them from the market. Drugs are recalled when the risks outweigh the possible benefits. There are also drugs on the market that may not have been recalled, despite dangerous side effects. These are generally labeled as dangerous drugs. Defective drugs cause the serious injury or death of thousands of people every year. There must be multiple reports of negative side effects before the FDA will investigate a drug to see if it should be labeled defective. In the meantime, users are unaware of the possible investigation or ongoing investigation and putting themselves at risk of injury or death. If you or someone you love has experienced deadly or debilitating side effects as a result of using a defective drug, our personal injury lawyers can help you get the compensation you deserve.
