Glade Recently Went to See an Ophthalmologist for Severe Glaucoma

Question 43

Essay

Glade recently went to see an ophthalmologist for severe glaucoma.The doctor stated that Glade's vision was in danger and prescribed Seerite made by Drugco.Seerite was the newest and most promising treatment for glaucoma that exists.The product literature stated,"When used as directed,Seerite is 100% safe and effective for glaucoma." After reading this literature,Glade put it in the trash.Glade's examination of the pamphlet had overlooked a small statement on the back that read "Warning: In 2% of the population this product may produce uncontrollable weight gain." Three weeks after using Seerite,Glade had gained 50 pounds and continued to gain weight rapidly.Glade has stopped using Seerite but cannot lose the weight,which has created a separate health risk.Is Seerite a defectively designed drug? What defenses would be available to Drugco against this claim? Is there any other theory under strict product liability law that Glade may use to recover against Drugco? Discuss fully.
