Fact Pattern 19-1
In 1999, the Drugs-R-Us began testing its new drug, Reduceo, a medicine to help people lose weight. Tests looked promising and, in 2006, the company applied to the FDA for approval to market Reduceo as a prescription drug. In March 2009, the FDA granted Drug-R-Us approval to market Reduceo. Reduceo was sold with some "diet enhancing" cookies that contained no drugs but were claimed to help dieting with Reduceo.
Frank saw an ad for the new drug. The Reduceo ad stated that it was a "wonder drug" and "tests prove it is the safest weight reduction drug on the market today!" Frank was interested and made an appointment to see his doctor.

Frank took Reduceo from June until the end of August and lost 25 lbs. He also ate Reduceo's cookies. He was delighted with his weight loss, but was concerned because dots appeared before his eyes, causing disorientation. One day, the dots appeared before Frank's eyes while he was driving.

He sued Drugs-R-Us, alleging negligence in manufacturing and inadequate warning of possible effects, as well as for deceptive advertising.
