Prescription drugs can be deemed defective due to the following:

Doctors and pharmacists may also be liable if they negligently prescribe or dispense the wrong drug or dosage. If you were injured by painkiller or opioid overprescription in New York, click here.
In product liability cases like ones involving defective drugs, manufacturers can be held strictly liable for injuries caused by their products, even in the absence of fault or negligence. Unlike negligence claims, which require proof that the manufacturer failed to exercise reasonable care, strict liability focuses solely on the condition of the product itself. The plaintiff must show that the product had a defect, that the defect caused their injury, and that it rendered the product unreasonably dangerous.
The defect can originate from various aspects of the product, such as its design, manufacturing process, or insufficient warnings. Importantly, strict liability claims are not limited to direct buyers of the product; bystanders and others who do not have a direct relationship with the product can also bring claims if they suffer injuries.
The rationale behind strict liability is that manufacturers are best positioned to ensure product safety and should bear the costs of injuries caused by defective products. By eliminating the need to prove negligence, strict liability facilitates injured plaintiffs' ability to recover damages and encourages manufacturers to prioritize product safety.
