Defective Drugs


Many defective drugs, including both prescription and over the counter, have been sold in the United States. The Journal of the American Medical Association published a meta-analysis of adverse drug reactions in hospitals, and revealed that there were more than 100,000 adverse reactions to prescription drugs reported annually.
 
 
This makes dangerous prescription drugs one of the leading causes of death in the United States, and that doesn’t even take into account the countless Americans who suffer adverse reactions outside of hospitals.

Some of these drugs get approved by the FDA based on misleading and self-serving studies conducted by the pharmaceutical companies. Other drugs may be safe if manufactured properly, but become contaminated during the manufacturing process with deadly infectious agents or dangerous chemicals. After causing considerable damage (and making considerable profits for the drug companies), some dangerous drugs have been recalled. Still, there are other dangerous drugs have not yet been recalled, and may never be recalled. These drugs are still on the market, still killing and injuring people, and still making money for the drug companies.
