Defective Drug - Vioxx
Vioxx is an arthritis drug manufactured by Merck. The drug was pulled from the market September 29, 2004 after a clinical trial confirmed long-standing concerns that the drug raises the risk of heart attack and stroke for people who use the drug more than 18 months. Merck's decision to withdraw Vioxx from the market came after the data safety monitoring board overseeing a long-term study of the drug recommended that the study be halted because of an increased risk of serious cardiovascular events, including heart attacks and strokes, among study patients taking Vioxx compared to patients receiving placebo.
