The pharmaceutical industry is one of the most profitable businesses in America, topping the Fortune 500 year after year. But too often, big drug companies put profits ahead of public safety, rushing new drugs to market before enough testing can be done. That puts consumers at risk of injury or death.

The most recent example of such outrageous corporate behavior involved the popular pain medication Vioxx. In that case, its manufacturer, Merck & Co., allegedly ignored studies showing the drug posed an increased risk of heart attack and stroke. The Food and Drug Administration, which had relied on reviews of the drug funded by Merck, allegedly failed to pull Vioxx off the market until after many patients had already been injured or killed by the drug.

Because of the drug industry's massive political influence - pharmaceutical companies spend hundreds of millions of dollars annually on lobbying - people who have been injured by unsafe drugs can only turn to the courts for justice.
