Consumers protection is vital, if the public wants to keep the drug companies accountable for the products produced. Without this safeguard, the manufacturers of potentially dangerous medications would not have to disclose any problems and adverse effects that can cause further harm to the patient. Without this information, doctors might prescribe a drug that will react negatively with other medications. No warnings would be available to those who might put themselves, their unborn babies, or even the general public at risk. Consumer's protection is what keeps drug companies honest. Without full disclosure, they are liable for any damages incurred by the person who takes their product.
