Dangerous Drug Marketing Defect Injuries

A marketing defect can be the failure to warn of danger or instruct on proper use.  In the absence of proper warning, hazards can exist.  It is the obligation of the manufacturer to educate consumers about the proper use of a product, as well as potential drug interactions and side effects.  There can be a failure to warn if the manufacturer does not inform consumers about adverse drug interactions.
