Product Liability & Mass Torts Digest

A recent Supreme Court decision strengthened plaintiffs’ ability to control whether their case will be litigated in state or federal court.

The Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FDCA or the Act) governs safety, efficacy, and labeling over drugs, cosmetics, dietary supplements, medical devices, and other consumer products. The FDCA grants the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) the primary power to enforce the Act, including whether drugs, cosmetics, dietary supplements, and medical device manufacturers properly label their products to avoid misleading their customers.
