Pharmaceutical Companies Can Be Held Responsible When Dangerous Products Harm Pennsylvania Residents
Like any other product manufacturer or developer, pharmaceutical companies can be held responsible for wrongful death caused by their products. Product liability law applies equally to dangerous pharmaceutical products, and can apply because of:
- Design defects. Liability based upon design defect generally means that the pharmaceutical product itself was fundamentally dangerous in the way it was formulated.
- Manufacturing defects. In the case of pharmaceutical products, a manufacturing defect could occur when the product was actually being made. For example, perhaps the manufacturer altered the chemical composition of the drug so that it didn’t match the formula as designed.
- Failure to warn. Companies have a duty to warn consumers of potential side effects of the pharmaceutical product. While most drugs come with a litany of warnings, those warnings also have to be adequate to inform consumers of the potential risks.
Deceptive marketing practices can also give rise to a claim for dangerous pharmaceutical product wrongful death under Pennsylvania law.

- Closely examining the warning labels to determine whether they were adequate and accurate,
- Conducting thorough interviews to determine whether the pharmaceutical company, manufacturer, doctor or someone else knew of the risk.
