North Carolina Product Liability and Mass Tort Attorneys


Millions of pharmaceutical and consumer products are used by U.S. consumers everyday. While most of these products are safe, that is not always the case.

Consider the following statistics from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC):

  • Dangerous products are related to 28,200 deaths and 33.6 million injuries each year.
  • More than 200,000 children are treated in U.S. emergency rooms each year due to toy-related injuries alone.
  • Deaths, injuries and property damage cost the nation more than $700 billion annually.

 

In terms of pharmaceuticals, events such as the Vioxx disaster of the early 2000s and the $2.3 billion dollar fine Pfizer paid in September 2009 for off-label marketing practices (the largest criminal fine ever levied in the United States for that illegal practice) show that pharmaceutical products often pose serious underlying threats to consumers.
