The Law of Unintended Consequences is going to come back and bite the government in the *ss on this one. Can't hold the manufacturer liable if their FDA-approved product hurt you? Then (the reasoning will go) the FDA must have been wrong, and that's where the liability will be alleged to reside.

Not likely, if condom manufacturers are any example. IIRC, the last group compensated by the gov't were Japanese - Americans interred during World War II.

If you remember, we had a related argument about responsibility here in which I only stated the hazards from males having sex with men, and those predisposed to IVDA and bisexuality.
