"Court allows drug label lawsuit"

ADVERTISEMENTS
"Court allows drug label lawsuit": Lyle Denniston has this post at "SCOTUSblog." Lyle's post begins, "The Supreme Court, voting 6-3, ruled that federal approval of labels giving warnings about effects of drugs does not bar lawsuits under state law claiming inadequate warnings."
