“key drug” for lethal injection imported by Food and Drug Administration 226

Product Liability  is another area of San Diego Personal Injury Law.

Six death row inmates have filed a lawsuit against the Food and Drug Administration in an attempt to halt the importing of a “key drug” used by states for lethal injection. The suit claims that by allowing states to import “unapproved supplies of sodium thiopental,” the FDA is violating federal regulatory laws. The lone U.S. manufacturer of the drug announced it was permanently halting production last month.  San Diego personal injury attorney Kevin Johnson, USA Today  02/02/2011
