The New York Times just published an interesting article that exposes the nature of the drug manufacturing industry.  Consumers who have been victimized by dangerous drug side effects often criticize the Federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for a lack in oversight.  In reality, the FDA is not to blame.  In fact, the FDA has requested comprehensive reports from drug manufacturers as to whether or not their drugs even work as they are intended.  The FDA has authority to 'fast-track' certain drugs that are designed to treat life-threatening illnesses such as AIDS or cancer.  Other drugs have to prove that they are safe before introduction into the market.

Dangerous drugs are a serious problem and can cause life-threatening side effects.  Consumers may have a drug side effect injury claim against the manufacturer of a prescription drug or product that caused them permanent harm.  Some example of drugs that have been proven to cause serious injury and or premature death include Avandia, Chantix, Digitek, Fentanyl, Levaquin, Gadolinium, Raptiva, Seroquel, and Yaz. 

A nationwide drug recall injury lawyer can provide an injured drug consumer with advice on how best to protect their legal interests.  Many drug injury claims have a short statute of limitations, whereby they must be filed in the appropriate jurisdiction in a limited time frame.  Call (866) 840-3636 to discuss the specifics of your drug injury claim.
