The court case I have chosen to examine is David Franklin versus Parke-Davis, which was a landmark lawsuit that ultimately ended up setting the precedence for future lawsuits against pharmaceutical companies for off-label promotion using the False Claims Act set forth in the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act of 1938 (FDCA). David Franklin was PHD level scientist who was employed by Parke-Davis as a medical liaison in 1996. The parent company for Parke-Davis at the time was the Warner-Lambert Company in which Park-Davis was responsible for the pharmaceutical products division that included the manufacturing, marketing and research and development for novel medications and therapies. During Franklin’s short tenure at Parke-Davis, he claimed that
In the first of two court cases between 1950 and 1962, the courts ordered Mytinger & Casselberry, Inc. to change their claims of Nutrilite vitamins positively aeffecting diseases like cancer, arthritis, asthma, heart trouble and tuberculosis. They changed their sales booklet, but most of the claims in the booklet was were still very misleading. After the FDA went on a rampage to seize as many of Nutrilite’s products as possible to force them to correct their misleading info or face going to court, Mytinger & Casselberry filed suit against the FDA, stating through the seizures they are trying to run them out of business, before they could make the necessary corrections, i. In a fairly lucky twist theirir the Judge in their case Judge Goldsborough, who was very much against the FDA, found in favor of Mytinger & Casselberry and issued a restraining order against the FDA, they went to trial and on

Case Significance: This case is important because it created the “inevitable discovery” and overall broadened the exceptions to the exclusionary rule. Evidence that would’ve been found through other legal measures are admissible. It’s a safety net, in the way that it doesn’t require courts to examine the constitutional infractions and rather focuses on increasing the probability of a
In reference to the case study, subject matter jurisdiction could possibly apply. Since Margolin suit claims negligence on the parts of Novelty Now and Funny Faces for using PYR in their product the case could be heard in a federal claims court. The violation of FDA regulations makes the case a stronger candidate for this type of venue.

In their theories of how a business should operate, R. Edward Freeman and Milton Friedman hold virtually opposite beliefs as to what businesses’ responsibilities should be. In favor of the Stakeholder theory, Freeman believes that any person or organization that has a “stake” in the business should also play a role of participation in the business’s actions and decisions. In the other corner of the ring stands Milton Friedman, who holds the belief that said business is only responsible for those that actually own stock in the business – the owners, or stockholders.
Issues- National Federation of Independent Business v. Sebelius brought up some unique and never before seen issues (The Affordable Care Act Cases).
The government declined to intervene in the qui tam claim, which led Bledsoe to pursue the FCA claim on his own in May of 1999. According to the Bledsoe, the government has been in contact with CHS as of 1997 for CHS audit findings of medical coding irregularities. An ongoing investigation was in effect when Bledsoe filed the FCA claim. In any event, the government had sought an alternate remedy and pursued a separate case against CHS with the relator’s qui tam action (Compliance Issues in the Life Sciences: Fraud and Corruption 222).
In the late 1960’s, the FTC was a paper tiger. Ralph Nader, who began the consumer protection movement in this country with the publication of Unsafe At Any Speed, was a sharp critic of the Federal Trade Commission for its lack of consumer protection. Specifically, the FTC was criticized because it relied too heavily on consumer complaints and brought enforcement actions only on a case-by-case basis. The consumer protection movement wanted the FTC to proceed against entire industries rather than individual businesses.
Thank you for the article, it was informative. It’s pretty interesting that the article mentioned the fact that FCA settlements are notably followed by RICO claims. Therefore, pharmaceutical organizations should be wary of the likelihood of RICO claims may arise. In a sense, FCA settlements open up a window for private payors to recover for damages.
