Generic Drug Pre-Emption The Danger Worsens

Published: Nov. 27, 2011, 12:30 p.m.

b'Wyatt discusses the dangerous ruling of the U.S. Supreme Court in Pliva v. Mensing which overturned the 8th and 5th circuits\\u2019 decisions and held that federal drug regulations applicable to generic drug manufacturers directly conflict with and preempt plaintiffs\\u2019 state law claims. This absurdity means that people injured by dangerous \\u201cname brand drugs\\u201d can sue for relief while those injured by \\u201cgeneric drugs\\u201d have absolutely no remedy in the law at all.'
