Supreme Court rules against drug victims

Supreme Court rules against drug victims


The Supreme Court ruled in a 5-4 vote today that people hurt by generic drugs cannot collect compensation from the companies that made those drugs. The case was Mutual Pharmaceutical Co., Inc. v. Bartlett.
The same five justices who voted against compensating Gladys Mensing (Pliva v. Mensing) and thousands of others hurt by generic drugs also voted against Karen Bartlett and the many thousands of others who will continue to be affected by generic drugs that have harmed them: Antonin Scalia, John Roberts, Clarence Thomas, Anthony Kennedy, Samuel Alito.
