Product LiabilityWill Texas meningitis case spark a product liability lawsuit?

October 26, 2012by Aaron Allison

When receiving prescription drugs — at the hospital or pharmacy — it’s not unreasonable for consumers in Austin to believe that they are safe when used as directed.

The recent outbreak of fungal meningitis due to the use of tainted prescription steroids across the nation is enough to disrupt that expectation and keep patients on edge. Now, the problem has arrived in Texas. The manufacturers of the drugs may end up facing product liability lawsuits from those affected by the defective product.
