The Role Of Litigation In The Fight Against Prescription Drug Abuse, Richard C. Ausness
Law Faculty Scholarly Articles
Prescription drug abuse problems have prompted a number of responses by both drug users (and abusers) and by various federal and state government agencies.

These theories include: negligence; strict products liability, including design defect and inadequate warning claims; breach of the implied warranty of merchantability; violation of state consumer protection statutes; negligent marketing; fraudulent misrepresentation; civil conspiracy; and "malicious conduct."
