rules against Novartis in drug suit
SAN FRANCISCO — The California Supreme Court has
ruled against pharmaceutical giant Novartis in a lawsuit over
a generic version of a drug the company once made.
The court said Thursday brand-name drug manufacturers can
be held liable for deficiencies in warning labels on generic
versions of their drugs. In a 4-3 decision, the justices said that
liability could also extend to cases in which the brand-name
drugmaker has sold the drug to another company and stopped
making it.
The ruling came in a lawsuit against Novartis by the chil-
dren of a woman who was prescribed a generic drug while preg-
nant. The children claim the drug caused them to suffer brain
injuries, and Novartis failed to warn their mom about those
dangers.
