White House Backs Preemption In Wyeth Case
"Once again, the US Solicitor General has lined up in support of
preemption, a concept that, essentially, states FDA approval of a drug
preempts state law claims challenging the safety, efficacy, or
labeling. At issue is whether patients can sue a drugmaker through
state law when a product has already been approved by the FDA, a
controversial notion that is now making its way to the US Supreme
Court..........
...........And in its latest opinion sent to the Supreme Court (here it
is), the Solicitor General disagrees with a ruling by a lower court -
in this instance, the Vermont Supreme Court - that supported a
patient's right to sue Wyeth over the labeling for Phenergan, an
injectable drug. Diana Levine, a professional musician, went to the
hospital for treatment of a headache and, after being injected, was
left with injuries that led to the amputation of her right arm.......
