big pharma is pushing for a profound redefinition of the law regarding product liability. namely, they're trying to convince the courts that having an fda warning label exempts them from any liability whatsoever, no matter what happens.
their stance is that - because the fda approved their drugs - any adverse reactions and/or deaths that result are covered under some kind of magic federal umbrella. unfortunately, they've gained the ears of some members of congress by stuffing money in them - their preferred method of persuasion for lo, these many years.
