The maker of a pharmaceutical product can be held liable for injuries caused by their defective drug

Defective drug laws are part of a body of laws called product liability law. A defective drug possesses a significant risk of severe and potentially deadly side effects. In drug product liability cases, it must be proved that the risk of harm outweighs the positive benefits of the drug even with adequate warning labels.

Legal claims alleging a defective drug are often made into a class-action lawsuit.
