FDA, under the Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act (FDCA), has clear authority over, among other things: (1) the content and format of prescription drug labeling and promotional materials, (2) compliance with current prescription drug, device, and product manufacturing practices, and (3) product withdrawals from the market. Yet, each of these matters has been the subject of recent litigation filed by State Attorneys General under a theory that alleged violations of these federal laws can be brought in state court using broad, generalized state law causes of action, such as state unfair and deceptive practices acts. This forum will discuss how state court juries have been presented with questions that historically have been decided by FDA, such as whether FDA-approved labeling is false, or whether a FDCA violation warrants a warning letter or even more significant actions or penalties. In addition, the consent decrees resulting from these lawsuits can give states FDA-like regulatory authority over health care companies, prospectively.

Learning Objectives

Identify the implications of state involvement in issues historically reserved for FDA on the public health, industry, and the Agency itself.
