About Defective Drugs

Medications are meant to help you heal, not to cause new harm. A defective drug claim can arise when a prescription or over-the-counter medication is dangerous, or when its label fails to warn about serious side effects the maker knew or should have known about. California's strict product liability principles can apply, so the focus is often on whether the drug or its warnings were unreasonably unsafe rather than on proving carelessness. When many people are harmed by the same medication, these matters can overlap with broader mass tort litigation. It helps to share a few details and connect with a California attorney.
