The Life Sciences Speaker Series focuses on legal issues for life sciences, health care, medical device and pharmaceutical companies. Please join us for the next session of our series, "State Attorneys General: Regulating Life Sciences Through Consumer Protection Laws."
The Life Sciences industry has seen a growing trend of the FDA regulating through enforcement actions and regulatory guidance, as opposed to providing regulation on a variety of key topics. State attorneys general have also entered the fray, "regulating" the industry through a series of high-profile investigations, consent decrees and jury verdicts involving areas that have traditionally been the exclusive province of the FDA. The state attorneys general are, for example, challenging product labeling, the content of Dear Health Care Provider letters and the content and form of promotional materials. They are scrutinizing sales representative interactions and reimbursements for products they claim were not as safe or as effective as promoted.
Join Pepper Hamilton's Barry H. Boise and Jessica A. Rickabaugh as they describe how and why attorneys general are using state consumer protection laws to regulate the industry and what you need to know from a compliance perspective.
