2011 House Bill 4440

Repeal FDA approved drug lawsuit ban

Introduced in the House

March 15, 2011

Introduced by Rep. Lisa Brown (D-39)

To allow product liability lawsuits against drug companies for drugs that have been approved by the U.S. Food And Drug Administration (FDA). The bill would repeal a tort reform law passed in 1995, under which such lawsuits are prohibited in Michigan courts unless the company intentionally withheld information or misled the FDA about the drug, or used bribery to gain approval.

Referred to the Committee on Judiciary
