Let's say your mother takes a medication that causes permanant blindness. She and 250,000 other citizens are blinded. Do you think these folks should be unable to bring suit?

This is an utterly bogus argument and you know it. The FDA would have long, long since pulled this medication if it caused 25 cases of blindness.

There was a medication that was recalled about 3-5 years ago that caused heart damage. I only wish it had been recalled with less than 25 people damaged from it. You are wrong. The FDA doesn't always know a medication is causing harm to patients.
