The pharmaceutical industry is huge and constantly growing, with billions of dollars invested in research and advertising to capture the market for every possible use of medications by consumers. The pressure to get a drug to consumers has often resulted in the release of drugs that are not truly ready for widespread public consumption.

Examples of dangerous or defective drugs are the pain reliever Vioxx (recalled in 2004), the diabetes drugs Avandia and Rezulin, the cholesterol drug Baycol, and the diet formulation Fen-Phen. Drug recall lawyers help the individuals and families who have been harmed by dangerous drugs recover damages such as:

• Medical costs
• Pain and suffering
• Lost wages or earning capacity
