When a drug causes harm, the law holds not only the drug's manufacturer, but also its seller and all others linked in the distribution of the drug to the injured victim as jointly responsible for the harm. Dangerous drugs are perhaps the most well-known products covered by both state and federal products liability law, since the public is usually notified of the danger through massive media coverage of national recalls, usually done via press releases issued by the Food & Drug Administration.
