Amendment to homeland security bill insures that any manufacturer whose components are used in vaccines are now able to be held liable, whereas before only the manufacturer of the vaccine itself was to be held liable.
(FR-AP) An amendent introduced in the Homeland Security bill modifies existing laws which regulate who may be held accountable for vaccines which cause health problems, or death. Previous versions of the law explicitly applied to the manufacturer of the vaccine whereas the modified law stretches out to include those who manufacture components of the vaccine. Lawyers will now be able to go after multiple targets in the future for their clients, and not just the company who put together the individual parts and sold them as a whole.
Joe Blow, Attorney for X lawfirm, said "In the past we could only go after the drug company that sold the drug, as they were held solely responsible for the content of it. If those companies lost they would often go after the maker of the offending ingredient. Now we can go after all of them at once and broaden our scope to include both parties."
Ok, so a bit far fetched, but you get the idea :)
You'd make a fine trial lawyer.
