18 December 2018 - The FDA pulls an Obama rule that was a trial-lawyer special.
What spreads holiday cheer like a defeat for the trial lawyers? So seasons greetings from the FDA, which last week withdrew a destructive rule that would have enriched the tort bar at the expense of patients who rely on prescription medicines.
The rule proposed by the Obama Administration in 2013 allowed generic drug makers to tailor their own safety labels, which historically must be identical to the branded product.
