For a manufacturer such as pharmaceuticals mfg, “failure to warn” is an element of negligence.
I do not have a legal background. But I would think that if a manufacturer was unable to warn the consumer due to federal regulation then that may be a valid defense against a “failure to warn” negligence accusation.
Could one counter that defense by claiming the negligence was on the failure to include a proper warning on the original label?
Bush wants the FDA to make it harder for drug companies to warn the public if it is discovered that their products produce more harmful or severe side effects…and the Democrats are the bad guys?
Oh the great Dem humanitarians. All they care about is that their ambulance chaser friends and campaign contributors are protected. Sure they care about people being able to sue manufacturers, but only because it lines the plaintiffs’ lawyers pockets and their own, too.
All politicians are as you describe. The only difference between Democrats & Republicans is that the Dems let the money slip through the poor people’s fingers before they steal it.
Let’s look at this politically – at long last the Democrats are standing up for a good-ol’-fashioned Conservative Republican value . . . smaller government.
Yup, Republicans are supposed to stand for less government intervention, so by making it easier for pharmaceutical companies to alter their labels, by cutting out the FDA, the Democrats are upholding Republican values.
I have always said there’s no real difference between the parties (sarcasm thick as mold on month-old cheese).
Big Surprise. The Bush administration has effectively reversed the purpose of so many of our Institutions that were originally formed to honor the intent of our founders. They were formed to protect “We The People” from powerful Corporations, Religions, Organizations or overly ambitious Individuals from gaining too much control over “The People. Instead, Bush has literally, and without shame, ransacked them and filled them with the very people these organizations were set up to protect us against. As a bonus they even get to us U.S. tax payer money to do their own bidding! The FDA has never been so ineffective at protecting her people…should this surprise anyone? Poor Bush! Who would have guessed a U.S. President would do so much harm to our great nation.
How is it smaller government to control when a company can warn it’s consumers of dangers?? It’s hilarious how “small government” folks love big government when it lines their pockets! LOL What a joke.

I wonder how they will survive after they have destroyed this country, starting with business, then you and ME!
When it comes down to ME (!) I get damn nasty.
Died last December age 50.
Uterine cancer at 19; radical hysterectomy at 20; many many health problems throughout her life.
Where were the warnings for the DES that was prescribed for no apparant reason for 18 years!

Patriot, you’re a totalitarian’s wet dream
Finally someone is standing up to the Bush admin as they roll over to large corporations at the cost of the American people.
At least there are still enough a holes like the poeple on this list that are like sheep and will vote republican no matter how bad things get.
