Pharmaceutical companies and drug manufacturers are extremely profitable companies, generating billions of dollars in revenues and offering executive officers millions of dollars in benefits and bonuses. With this amount of money, one would reasonably expect that these companies do everything possible to ensure that the patients that they claim to provide products for are protected. One would expect that these companies provide adequate testing, careful trials, and plenty of information on all of their products. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. Some drug companies allow the desire for profitability to overshadow everything else and as a result dangerous drugs and pharmaceutical devices are released to the public, causing serious injuries and even fatalities.
