Defective and Dangerous Drugs

Pharmaceutical companies have a responsibility to consumers to produce safe and effective drugs. Sadly, they do not always live up to that responsibility. These same companies have a responsibility to provide adequate warnings when drugs pose hazards to the public. Hazardous drugs should be removed from the market in a timely fashion. Far too many defective prescription and over the counter drugs have been marketed and sold in the United States by pharmaceutical companies. Every year more than 100,000 adverse reactions to prescription drugs are reported. Defective prescription drugs are one of the leading causes of injuries and death in the United States. At Rosenthal, Levy and Simon we believe no consumer should suffer illness, injury or a disability caused by the use of a defective prescription or over the counter drug.

If you suspect that you were injured by a defective or recalled drug, or if you have taken a drug that was recalled, you need to consult your doctor immediately. If you suspect you were injured by a defective or recalled drug or if a loved has died by such a drug, you may be entitled to compensation. You should act quickly to protect your rights.
