Pharmaceutical / Drug companies and Dietary Supplement manufacturers spend billions of dollars annually advertising and marketing their products to the American consumer. For the most part, these prescription drugs and over-the-counter medications or supplements help people to live longer, better lives by controlling or eliminating disease, infection, illness or by simply improving the person’s quality of life to some degree.

Over 400,000 Adverse Events Reports Per Year in America

Unfortunately, defective or dangerous drugs account for at least 200,000 deaths per year in the United States alone. Furthermore, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) receives well over 400,000 reports of adverse events per year and it is speculated that there are approximately 2.2 million drug related injuries per year. Some of these adverse events will result in the unfortunate death of the user, however an overwhelming majority of these adverse events will cause lifelong disabilities and hardship for the person/families affected.

As these companies continue to spend billions of dollars on public relations and advertising, they consistently neglect to adequately warn consumers of the potential for serious, life-threatening side effects of their products until it is too late.

At Schmidt & Clark, LLP, we know this to be true because we are contacted on a daily basis by people just like you who are looking for legal representation and information regarding prescription drug, over-the-counter drug or dietary supplement side effects and/or recall information.

The manufacturers of these products have a responsibility to the American people (not their shareholders) to provide products that are safe and effective when used as intended. In addition, these manufacturers need to thoroughly warn consumers when their products have the potential to cause adverse events.
