Marketing Defect Lawsuits

Who has not seen ads of television of pharmaceutical drugs? The point is that if you take such and such drug, your arthritis will not hurt you anymore. All the while the voice over in the ad is telling you in a hurried voice a litany of side effects that may result. This is the drug company's effort by marketing to explain the risks of their potentially dangerous product. Should they be sued by an individual claiming that the drug harmed them, they will respond that the person was warned. They will still lose for making false claims if they cannot show that the drug at least relieves arthritis for some people some of the time. Even then if the drug has too many victims, it may be considered unreasonably dangerous and thus defectively designed.

Where companies fail to warn of risks, or fail to explain how to safely use their product or simply make false claims they are liable for injuries caused.
