An article published in the ABA's Product Liability Litigation called for the abolition of the learned intermediary doctrine, which provides that pharmaceutical manufacturers discharge their duty to warn purchasers of their product if they provide adequate warnings to the prescribing physician. In this article, Carlton Fields shareholders John A. Camp and Gary M. Pappas respond.
"A Response to Plaintiffs' Call to Abolish the Learned Intermediary Doctrine" was published in the American Bar Association's Product Liability Litigation, Vol. 21, No. 3, Summer 2010 in response to "Modern Realities Render the Learned Intermediary Doctrine Obsolete," Product Liability Litigation, Vol. 21, No. 1, Winter 2010.
