Hundreds of new drugs enter the market each year. Each and every product receives approval from the FDA before reaching the consumer. Yet over 200,000 people dies from the use of these drugs each year. Some estimates put the percentages of drugs with negative effects close to 50%.

Some drugs were still marketed by drug companies even after evidence of serious side effects or death had been noted. By law, drug manufacturers are strictly liable for injuries if the product they sell is defective or unreasonably dangerous. This can happen in several ways.
Most harmful drugs of recent memory have been withdrawn from the market within 12 months of release. However, some drugs continue to be marketed to consumers even with significant evidence of dangerous side effects. Drug manufacturers are held strictly liable for injuries caused by proper use of their drugs, regardless of the defect’s origin: manufacturing, design, or failure to warn.
